FYI: I implemented equalizer presets in VLC for Mac about 3 months ago and they are going to be part of VLC 2.1 (as well as presets for video and audio filters).

I finally found THE RIGHT VERSION OF NIGHTLY BUILD(2.0.6) that remembers your saved eq and compressor presets, after exiting, when opening a file from the windows explorer, and everything. It took me A LONG TIME to finally find one that wasnt buggy and actually remembers the presets. Just go here http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win32/?C=M;O=D, or google "vlc nightly builds" and make sure to get the latest version of 2.0.6 . This is important, heres a link for 32 bit windows exe http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/win ... -win32.exe If you dont know how to save presets, goto Tools > Preferences then click "All" on the bottom left, then Audio > Filters and you should figure it out from there. Hopefully this helps, I had to find the solution myself with lots of trial and error. Every version seems to have different bugs where one setting doesn't save, or saves until you open a file directly from windows explorer and not through the VLC open dialog.

Yea, it is ridiculous to use excuses as "it takes time to code"... For someone who is familiar with vlc code, this feature should'nt take more than a few minutes to code. come on guys

I think I've asked about this as well, I have a preset I make that works for my Audio system and I'd like to save it. Is there any way to modify the existing presets, maybe put mine in there?

This is not possible with current releases of VLC, unless you want to edit VLC's source code to add your new preset. As said, this will change in VLC 2.1 for Mac. So far, not for VLC on Windows, Linux or BSD, though.
