Disabling crash reporting?

[spitfire24]

I'm using VLC .9.9a for OSX and I need it to continuously play a play list (24/7). However, occasionally VLC will crash. I have a pscript set to automatically restart VLC and start the play list again. However, instead of playing the video the crash reporting dialog comes up. For my purposes, this isn't acceptable. A quick search of the forums shows one old post that says you can't disable crash reporting. Is there a way to work around this though? For example, is there a file created on a crash that I can lock/rename/delete before relaunching VLC so that it won't show the crash reporting dialog? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Just going to share my solution in case anyone else needs to know this for the future.

In OSX, crash logs are stored to ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter
I made this directory read only, so that VLC could not write a crash report to it. So VLC can't write a crash log and thus does not know it has crashed upon relaunch. Note that this isn't the best solution (other applications can't write crash logs either). However, it works for my purposes. My recommendation to others would be write some type of script to delete the VLC crash logs if any are present. Then you can leave the folder as read/write access.

I use VLC Media Player 1.0.1 on Windows, and I have the same problem. I use a scheduled task to start VLC, and it hangs on the message about crash reporting untill I click Yes or No.

Is there already a possibility to disable (or enable) the crash reporting, so I won't ask every time after a crash?

I have a work around here:
1. delete %appdata%\vlc\crashdump
2. make a folder called "crashdump"
This prevent vlc from reading "crashdump" file and making a new one.
