Hello,

Does any one know the command for setting the Video Output preferences to DirectX (DirectDraw) video output?
Im using VLC media player 2.0.1 Twoflower

Iv tried the following with no luck:
--directx-hw-yuv --directx-use-sysmem

What im trying top achieve is a startup script that executes 2 running video's on seperate screens, It all works fine when I manually set these settings but i cant get them into my scritp.

The commands i have so far that work with manual setting of Video Output:

START /D"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC" vlc.exe c:\temp\VIDEOFILE.flv --fullscreen --repeat --directx-device="\\.\DISPLAY3"
START /D"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC" vlc.exe c:\temp\VIDEOFILE.mp4 --fullscreen --repeat --directx-device="\\.\DISPLAY1"

Command with Video output back on Default settings (Does not work)

START /D"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC" vlc.exe c:\temp\VIDEOFILE.flv --fullscreen --repeat --directx-hw-yuv --directx-use-sysmem --directx-device="\\.\DISPLAY3"
START /D"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC" vlc.exe c:\temp\VIDEOFILE.flv --fullscreen --repeat --directx-hw-yuv --directx-use-sysmem --directx-device="\\.\DISPLAY1"

Any Help would be much appreciated

Thank You

Code: Select all

-V, --vout=<string>            Video output module
          This is the the video output method used by VLC. The default behavior
          is to automatically select the best method available.

so -V directx
