VLC video freezes

Submitted by pgro65 on September 1, 2015 - 6:23am

On starting to view a .MOV video file, VLC shows the opening couple of frames, then freezes, holding the picture static. The audio meanwhile continues to play correctly.

The same video file plays perfectly well on Windows Media Player.

I'm on XP sp3, with latest version of VLS (2.2.1).

Any ideas whats going on here?

VLC Portable

since some weeks it is impossible to update VLC to version 2.2.1. I can neither update via the PortableApps-updater, nor can I download it from the apps list.
I don't think I'm the only one who has this problem

opening vlc media player to playist interface

Submitted by eager on May 24, 2015 - 12:52pm

I downloaded the most recent version of VLC media player for Windows on to my desktop running XP and when I open VLC media player it automatically opens to the Playlist interface where I can see Media, etc. tabs which makes it easier to add to the empty playlist box or convert audio files.

When I downloaded VLC media player to my laptop running Windows 7 it opens to that black box and then I have to go searching for creating playlist every time.

VLC: converting .mp4 to .mp3

Submitted by eager on May 20, 2015 - 9:17pm

Hi,

I'm trying to convert an .mp4 into an .mp3 in VLC Media Player 2.1.3.

I choose Convert, then choose the file to convert and then choose to .mp3 and then I name the new file with an.mp3 extension and click Start but it just shows the word Streaming and when I look on the hard drive it lists the file I was converting to but 0kb and plays nothing.

Is there a better way to convert an .mp4 file into an .mp3?

Thanks so much.

With Windows 7: I'm getting No Sound from Exported Audio created with a mic with Multiple Formats (wav, ogg, mp4) when playing in VLC, Windows Media Player, WinAmp yet the audio plays fine when I play it Audacity Portable. Do I need the installed version to export the audio successfully?

VLC: Portable Launcher does not work with StdInput

Submitted by JarC on March 11, 2015 - 5:38pm

As an avid Twitch stream watcher, I've been using TardsPlay and Chatty as alternatives to reduce constant buffering and stutter when just viewing on the web.

These programs work by redirecting the videostream to a mediaplayer of choice, as long as this player supports stdinput redirection.

Sadly, the portable launcher doesn't allow me to use VLC in portable mode.

Can this be fixed?
