Wizards?

When I look up instructions for using VLC as anything other than a player, I find instructions on using the wizards. But I don't find any wizards in VLC. Am I too blind to be allowed to use a computer?

do you mean the one on

do you mean the one on File>Wizard?

I think there is non anymore on the recent VLC 9

Documentation usually lags behind

For a lot of Open Source apps, there are barely enough developers to keep up with demands for updates, so the separate instruction manuals tend to be several versions out of date.

This is especially true with VLC!

However, I believe that the functions are still there, they just stopped calling them "Wizards".

What exactly are you trying to do?

From what I understand, the wizard was used to transcode or stream.
The latest version of VLC has these commands:
Media>Convert/Save
Media>Streaming

Hope this helps!

When I find myself in times of trouble Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

It is still easier to use the

It is still easier to use the wizard.

Convert/save was there on vlc 8. And i have a hard time transcoding through that way than wizard.
