Use?!
maybe it´s me, but this player, up till today has never played any movie clip I had put in it.. either there is no picture or no sound or it doesn´t stream anything...
Afraid it really is just you 
First, are you using VLC 0.8.1? If not, please try it. Second, if you had a previous installation of vlc, check to see if there is a vlcrc file, and delete it (there is a FAQ off of the main VLC page, which tells you where it is located).
Third, you may just be running into a series of files that have codecs that aren't supported, real media, IV50, whatever. Try downloading:
ftp://streams.videolan.org/streams-vide ... usic26.mpg to your pc, see if it plays OK.
Open View -- Messages before trying to play a file that gives you trouble (no video). Let it run a few seconds, then Stop it. Look in the Messages window -- if you see something like "main: no suitable decoder for..." that means what it says -- it is a video or audio CODEC that VLC doesn't handle. There's a Features List, accessible off of the main VLC page, that lists formats that are supported.
Good luck!

My Dear Markfm
I know, that you´re always willing to help and I really appreciate it, but believe me that, I woulnd´t post here, if I could get started anything.
I downloaded the very new version of the player, and I tried absolutley every videofile on my harddrive, and nothing worked.. sometimes there was some sound, but that´s it

If you get sound, no video, but do get a black frame, see viewtopic.php?t=5923
The reason I listed the link in my prior post, with a particular file, is that I know that is a good file, something that you can download and should be able to play.
Are you running a very old operating system, or is your machine relatively slow? (CPU speed)
