The big VLC for Mac OS X Intel and UB thread

[dionoea]

It's basically any kind of DVD drive manufactured less than 2 years ago. Some firmware hacks are available for some of these drives. (but don't know much about them since i haven't had to use them yet)

[Banner]

I've tried H.264(Batman Begins 720p) and I get video but no sound.

[fkuehne]

Thanks for your reply. I'm sorry, I don't know what an RPC2 drive is. Is this the type of DVD drive used on the new MacBook Pros? And if it is, is there any way to modify it, by flashing the firmware, for example?

Almost all drives which are less than about two years old, are RPC2-drives. You can flash the firmware to a RPC1 replacement if it is available, but note that this might be illegal in your country and voids the warranty of your drive.

I'm in Spain, but half my DVDs have come from Asia or N. America. Since I legally purchased the DVDs, the legality isn't an issue to me. I simply want to be able to play all my DVDs them on a MacBook Pro -- just as I do now with Windows.

Once again, many thanks for any suggestions you can offer. Regarding flashing the firmware, it's just a matter of verifying the model of drive on the MacBook, finding a revised version of the firmware and updating, right?

Indeed. You should search the forum for more, hmmm, information on this

Regarding the legality: even this would be illegal in Germany and the US because you are circumventing a copy-protection. That's not related to the fact whether you rent the DVD or own it yourself, but I don't know what the Spanish laws state about this.

[beauredwolf]

Don't know if this has been posted yet or not, but I've been testing VLC on my intel iMac, and the audio quality is REALLY choppy when playing some windows media files. When playing other types of movie files, it's fine. Just thought i'd share.

[Guest]

No one is actively working on it here

I suspect that it's an alignment issue, or something like that. but to be honest, i don't really have a clue.

DJ, an astute developer located the problem in the MythTV code.. The older Mac code had altivec optimized yuv2vuy conversion routines, and the code didn't have a case for non-altivec. So, it was sending a null function pointer into QT. I had assumed the colorspace conversion was internal to QT, so I was off looking in the wrong direction.

After updating it to point to a C color space conversion function, I can now display video with the same code. You guys may want to check into something similar.

I'm having problems playing dvd .iso files. i just got a mac mini solo and im using the march 18th build. When i try and play an iso it will start fine and then a few minutes in it will just stop sometimes giving an error but sometimes not I'm sorry if this has already been addressed i dint see anything in the forum. is anyone else having this problem or no of a fix for it. ive seen some posts about turning off mmx and opengl but there are no options under my advance menu would that be because of my macs modle or something else im doing wrong.
Thanks

sorry, it seems that by copying and past my original message disappeared, wherefor my apologies ...

trying to play .mkv files on my MacBookPro (Intel) with the latest nightly build of VLC. No sound and after 4-7 seconds error message pops up.

all other files run without any problems (for example .avi files)

Best Regards,

LqF

[fkuehne]

okay, your MKV file contains audio encoded with the AAC codec. Our AAC-decoder is broken in this test-release and the current nightly builds. We don't know why yet, but be assured that this is definitely fixed before the actual release and perhaps even in the next test-build.
Thanks for reporting though

[Flippin360]

To the developers: Great job so far and thanks for letting us use development versions of VLC for Intel Macs.

If it helps I wanted to point out that the Aspect ratio change does not work properly like it does in windows, other than that it seems to have no other issues from my experience.

Good luck!

WHY there is a green triangle at the bottom of the screen playing WMV file?

[Guest]

I have played four wmv files. Two of them were fine, but one of them had a really choppy video playback, not watchable at all. The fourth one played audio only and gave this error message:

main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `WMV3'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.


All four of them play fine with QT thanks to flip4mac.

When I try Open Disc -> VCD for a disc with MPEGAV folder not on the top level, but lower in the hierarchy, VLC gives an error message about not being able to locate a video file. I would think searching for a .DAT or .mpg file anywhere on the disc would be a more robust method, but I can live with that. The much bigger problem occurs when immediately afterwards it starts making an awful, loud metallic sound. I had to quit VLC quickly before suffering any more ear damage. (That's why I could not copy the exact error message.)

Is there a way to make VLC fail a bit more gracefully without an ear splitting sound?

Please search the forum before asking questions. That's a known issue which is neither about to be solved nor specific to the x86-OSX port.

Sorry, when I posted this, I was under the impression that flip4mac did not support WMV3, but managed to play the file under question. Therefore, I thought VLC was making a mistake in determining the codec, but apparently I was the one making the mistake.

I played 2 .ts files that are of 1920*1080 resolution. Both played fine without any slowdowns. Problem is I have sound with one of the files, and with the other one I get an error. It say:

main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `mp4a'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format.

I know this file has different audio than the other (it's mp4a as you can see) but the sound plays fine on the powerpc version while it doesn't play at all on the intel version. Is this a known issue?

[fkuehne]

Yeah, it is. It doesn't work on PPC here either btw. Our decoder library was adapted to our re-worked build system yet, so this decoder isn't available yet. Be assured, that this will be fixed in the final release of 0.8.5.

[Guest]

Is it possible to tell VLC to use the Flip4Mac component when handling a WMV3 file? I know I can use QuickTime Player but VLC has more features.

[Guest]

Not sure what information I can provide. On my Macbook pro, the 2/21 nightly build worked fine for mp4s from kaizoku-fansubs.com. The 8.5-test1 and 3/30 nightly I just tried don't play audio.

Stream information correctly shows mp4a audio.

For the time being, I've jumped back to the 2/21 build.

[fkuehne]

@ Guest/Flip4Mac: that's not possible that the moment. This might be added in the future, but I won't promise anything.

To automatically load AND display subtitles I set 'Subtitle' setting to '0' instead of '-1'.

I don't get subtitles to display either. Where do you change this setting?
