setting the default

Under video menu, a default setting is listed for aspect ratio, crop and video device... if 'Default' is listed, there should be a way of setting what the default is...
How do I specify my installation of VLC's default crop setting? aspect ratio? video device?

Someone must know... spill the beans! How do I set default behavior for this application? If I want it to open every file with a 16:10 crop by default... how do I set that?

I have never done this, but preferences > video looks like a place to start.
Thanks

Appreciated, at least for replying. I've checked the preferences, but the settings there don't seem to match up with the menu settings. And there's absolutely no mention of how to set, say, a default crop in the documenation. Where the heck are the vlc gurus?

My general approach when the documentation is missing is to experiment with the settings and see what gives. In this case the video cropping field appears to be expecting a ratio, of the sort specified in the video -> crop menu. So 1:1 is a valid value.

I tried putting a ratio in there (16:10) it does nothing. Tells me a ratio is an invalid setting. But it should be a ratio it needs... that's how it works from the menu, so why's it all different in the preferences, and no mention of this in the documentation?

Not sure what to suggest since this does work for me. I am using 0.8.6b on "OS X".

Lets make sure we're on the same page...
Is the setting you speak of under
VLC/Preferences/Video/Filters/Crop ?
Where it says "Crop Geometry (pixels)" ?
If not, please be very specific what exactly you are talking about.

I see now...
under
VLC/Preferences/Video
where it says
Video Cropping.
Thanks much!
