The VideoLAN Forums

I tried uping to 0.7.0 and 0.7.1 and neither of these version seem to work at all. Audio is chopy, but video is non-existant. It always just has a black screen(for fullscreen) or simply a black box. I have tried selecting disable video track, then going back to track one. Every file i tried didnt work. Each of those files played fine in many other players(including version 0.6.2 which i have reverted too).

another problem(the reason i tried to upgrade to 0.7.0) is on the zx.noir ogm's the subtitles dont go away after the line has been said. i think this was simple a bad encode, but if someone else has seen this tell me.

Thank you for your time.

::edit:: BTW i did search, and only found one other post with a similiar problem, but no replies, thanks

that's because ogm subitles suck. They don't define how long they should be shown. Therefore VLC just doesn't remove them until the next subtitle appears.

well this is the first problem with ogm subtitles i have had.

also you didnt address my first question, which was the more pertainent one

that's because their is a trick around this problem where you display " " at the time the subtitle should end. though many streams use this trick, not all of them do. Which can result in earlier mentioned behaviour.

i don't know the answer to your other question. Try resetting your preferences.

i can get video with the ASCII output and with the window GDI, but not directx. Any ideas?

select preferences, plugins, video output, vout-directx
tick advanced options
untick use hardware yuv->rgb conversions

seems to work for me

well the solution for me was to disable overlays. everyone has their own way.
