Music & Video Apps Support

I'm surprised no one's reported this, or at least not that I saw. Just wanted to point out for a couple of releases now, VLC Portable does not create 'Data' (installer does anyways), but furthermore, Data\'settings', so you get an error saying it doesn't exist.

It's easy for most users to figure out they need to create it, but obviously the launcher should.

Is this just me, or did everyone on a clean install actually miss this?

my volume control appears to be correct. other applications are making noise. no error messages. whats going on??

sessions still load, etc..

So, i have VLC Portable and i'm having problems playing a video that has a new codec. i need the H264 codec. However, when i tried to install it on my flash drive...nothing happened. The video still couldn't be understood by VLC. what's going on? how can i get the codec to install on my flashdrive so VLC can understand it?

So I one of the coordinators for Take Back the Night here at USC, and someone forgot to bring in their laptop for our video projector. The laptop that someone else had handy didn't have any video program and Media player wasn't opening or recognizing the DVD in the drive. So I tried using VLC portable from my usb key, and viola! It worked, the movie played, the night was saved!

I believe this folder contains all the translations of the UI (and maybe the keyboard layouts!?). The entire folder is 6MB and that is more than 30% of the size used by VLC.
If there is no advert affect on VLC stability by deleting this folder contents, then it is the best way to save space on your USB drive. Anyone knows if this is ok?

Thanks,

Hi to all.

I've just download audacity and it crash my pc every thing I do.

It crash after some moment audacity start.
I'm using a win 2000 Pro SO and almost all my software are portable.

I just downloaded VLC and can't get it to install. I've dowloaded twice and each time I get a 9.5 Mb file. When I click on the .exe nothing at all happens. My specs are P4 3.2Ghz, 2Gb RAM, ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Vid card, ASUS P4P8X SE MoBo. Windows XP Home.

My Energy Management turns off the PC screen every few minutes, even if I'm playing something with VLC Portable. I remember that the 'normal' VLC didn't have this 'problem'.
Is there an option to suspend Energy Management while playing? Where is it?

PS: No, changing Energy Management settings is not a viable course of action
PPS: Sorry for my english, I'm italian.

Hi, I was wondering who I would contact to get permission to use VLC Portable in a firefox extension I'm making? I won't be altering the player in any way, only redistributing it with the extension.

Cheers.

I had to rip a movie trailer to post for a promotion at work and tried to use this guide:

When using VLC portable, it crashes no matter what video codec was selected.

I then installed VLC using their local-installer, and it also crashed using mp1v as they suggested (just for reference in this post.) I then selected encoding using mp2v and it worked. So I tried VLC portable with mp2v and it also crashed. I then assumed that VLC portable has a ripping issue and may be looking for libraries (?) just a theory.
