To disable the screen saver :
go in the preferences menu,
in General Setting, Interface, Extra interface modules : type
"screensaver" (without the quotes. If you already have something
specified in extra interface modules, just append screensaver by using
a ',').
Save the preferences and restart VLC.

Hallo again,

I typed "screensaver", but it didn't work, and then I tried "screen saver" (with space) and it works.

I hope it helps.

I've tried using vlc-0.8.2-svn-20050121 but I got this error in the messages window:

main error: no interface module matched "screen saver,none"
main error: no suitable intf module
main error: interface "screen saver,none" initialization failed

I've tried using both "screensaver" and "screen saver"

screensaver is not a windows module.
If you are using 0.8.2 try resetiing your preferences, and report back wether or not the screensaver is disabled during video playback

I've tried vlc-0.8.2-svn-20050127 after resetting settings,but still doesn't disable screensaver (tested under windows xp sp2).

I was testing it now, XP SP2 and vlc-0.8.2-svn-20050127, I write in Preferences -> Interface -> General in select modules that you want "screen saver," without quotes, restart the VLC and it's OK

I forgot to write, that only in fullscreen mode.

I've already tried and it doesn't work!
(please read previous post for the error meg)
