The VideoLAN Forums

I am using VLC 1.1.11 The Luggage version. According to wiki http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help, I can use the --input-record-path option to change the default record location in vlc config.

VLC config in my XP -> C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc.

--input-record-path=<string>
Record directory or filename
Directory or filename where the records will be stored

But after changing it, it still saves my recording to C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\My Music.

Also the wiki below mentioned that the default record path can be changed via UI, but I can't locate it. I changed the "Show Settings" option to "All" but I still don't see Files under Input & Codecs.

Other Notes
You can change the default record path for the video by going to TOOLS, PREFERENCES, INPUT & CODECS, and change the record directory.
details:
Tools
Preferences
Input & Codecs
Files: Record Directory or Filename (enter a path such as c:\video)

Please let me know how to change the default record path. Thank you!

Hi tckitty,
Usually it works with this procedure :

Tools => Preferences => Input & Codecs => Record Directory
Indicate the Directory you want (E:\Temp in the following pic)



Save your Preferences, Quit Vlc and you're done.
Is it possible you didn't save your preferences before quitting ?

Thank you so much for your help and the screen shot! I should have stayed on the "Simple" option...my bad. It works now using the UI. But it's weird that changing the config didn't work for me.

Again, thank you!!!
