Music & Video Apps Support

I tried VLC could play english subtitles, but only displayed square when chinese subtitles loaded. Could anyone kindly teach me how to display them correctly? Thank you.

PS, I also downloaded Mplayer portable, but don't know how to load subtitles (both english or chinese).

Caution! Do not open untrusted files using VLC Media.

"The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.8.6i. Other versions may also be affected."

I downloaded VLC Portable today and got immediately annoyed by it's splash screen (as usually). This time I decided not to make a mess in the main directory by adding a config file and recompile it instead. As I did it already, I decided to remove the rest of stuff that's useless for me, like MUI and CRC check.
Then I decided to make a performance test.
Result?
Original launcher: 2.28s (VLC showed up a bit before, but a splash screen covered it anyway).
My launcher: 0.15s. I redid the tests 3 times each, all were within 0.02s.

I've installed both but was wondering which one people use more? (I know this is the VLC forum)

For those who track of things, VideoLan has released version 0.8.6i of VLC now (actually a week ago, if anybody really cares)... expect to see the portable version in the future!

I was wondering if there is a way to disable multiple session for VLC so when I click on different media files they open in the same window instead of having another VLC pop up.

ok, so supposedly you can et thisworking by d.l.ing wine and whatnot, anyways, have the portable program from the site saved to my drive, ran it,andistalledit on my comp. so i go to the file, openit,click audacityportable.exe andnot a dam thing happens...any solutions?

i am running the latest version of the portable app version of vlc for windows, and am wondering how to go to a specific hour:minute:second when a video_ts file is loaded. i am familiar with how to do this with the mac version of vlc. thanks for your help.

I found a link today on Audacity's website for the newest version (1.3.5 at time of this post) as a zip file. They list it as an option for those at a computer lab that cannot run the installer. I was able to uzip the file at work and run the program without installing. I haven't tried it from my thumbdrive yet, so I don't know what glitches or problems there might be, but from my desktop it seems to work fine!

I am on a hot project to create some documentation based on AVIs created with SnagIt 8 that include both video and sound. On playback I can only get the sound. I have VLC 0.8.6c running on WinXP Pro SP4.
