VLC: Apple .MOV files only play audio - no video

Submitted by tacq on July 3, 2013 - 8:25am

Hi all,

new to portable apps. I downloaded portable vlc to play a series of MOV files in my possession.

When I play these files I only have audio, no video. I have tried playing with the settings in tool/preferences, with no joy. I thought it may have been the files, so I downloaded the quicktime alternative codec. I can play these files successfully on my pc since downloading quicktime alternative through IE browser.

I'm running Windows 7 SP1 - 64bit.

Any help to get these files to work will be appreciated.

VLC closes immediately after launch / doesn't launch - Windows 8

Submitted by btmitchell on March 29, 2013 - 5:41pm

Hello,

My VLC Portable (latest, 2.0.5) has strangely just stopped working. I upgraded it awhile ago (whenever it was released) and it was working fine.

When I try launching it (tried with a video file 'open with', launching the executable directly and via portable apps platform) it just does nothing.

Sometimes I see the splash image for a brief second, then nothing. No error message - and the process is not listed in task manager.

VLC and font cache

Submitted by anonymous_person on March 4, 2013 - 11:40pm

Would it be possible to "portablize" the %APPDATA%\vlc folder? One of its uses is to store a font cache, however, because it is deleted upon exit, VLC Portable always has to recreate the font cache when its started. This is rather inconvenient.

VLC2.0.5 problems on windows installations

Submitted by i2hhj on January 13, 2013 - 11:28am

I have been editing a presentation of text, images and videos on a CD which should run under present and future windows versions starting from Windows 98. The programm "CDMenuePro" from http://www.cdmenupro.de/ has been used (30 days free trial version available) for this work. This has an imbedded video player which looks rather old and not accepts new compression codecs like MPG4.
Thus I installed VLC Portable 2.0.5 on this CD.
However there are problems when running a video from this CD.
under Windows 98 : not accepted by VLC Portable

VLC 2.0.5 will not install to local disk C:/Program Files

Submitted by gracegracegrace on January 13, 2013 - 8:27am

I downloaded VLC portable 2.0.5 and can not get it to install to my desktop computer. The error says I need to install it to C:/Program Files or its sub directories which I have tried several times with no success. I can get VLC Portable to install to my USB drive, but I thought we were supposed to be able to install it to our local hard drive also. I have a Windows XP SP3 desktop computer. Thanks in advance.

VLC Media Player - Not Playing Commercial Music CDs nor video downloaded by Ant. Media

Submitted by eager on August 22, 2012 - 11:51pm

Hi,

I notice when I slide a commercially bought music CD in and launch VLC Media Player that unlike MP3 or .wav files it doesn't pay the tracks. I click on Play, and Open File and nothing seems to make any of the tracks on the several CDs I've tried play.

Also, VLC Media Player is very inconsistent in playing downloaded video downloaded with Ant. Media.

It's not content from hulu or such sites. It sits there like the music CDs and just never plays no matter what I click on in VLC Media Player.

Any thoughts?

Thank you.
