Video render type in Video LAN

Postby mimimi » 18 Jun 2008 00:11

Hi,

How can I cahange video render type in Video LAN?

I'm looking for a similar option like in Media Player Classic is (View->Options->Playback->Output).

Generally I have problem with VideoLAN and Actual Windows Manager software. If I use "Pin to desktop" command, to keep Total Commander still in background, I can't play any file in Video LAN. I can hear only an audio track and I see a black sqare insted of the movie. I was advised by AWM Support Centre to try changing video render type in Video LAN.

Only if I use Media Player Classic I can watch a movie and at this same moment use "Pin to desktop" command. I would like to change the video render type in Video LAN as I can in Media Player Classic.
