VLC: DVD Ripping

Submitted by gdibble on February 6, 2008 - 3:38pm

I had to rip a movie trailer to post for a promotion at work and tried to use this guide:
http://www.therealcaffeine.com/how-to/rip-dvd-with-vlc/

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.

VLC: Unable to open relative path in XSPF playlist

Submitted by jmn1995 on January 6, 2008 - 9:46pm

Saving playlist in XSPF format stores the absolute file paths by default in VLC. To make it portable, I have created my XSPF playlist with relative paths including only the filename itself between the <location> tags as the playlist file is in the very same directory as the media files. The validator at http://validator.xspf.org/ said it's OK, but VLC gives the error message:

Unable to open 'video001.avi'

VLC Portable and Foxytunes Plugin

Submitted by mccavittp on December 9, 2007 - 4:36am

I just recently updated my Foxytunes Plugin (now using v 2.9.6) for Firefox Portable (v 2.0.0.3)so I can use the controls. I was wondering if anyone has had success getting this to work. I followed the directions given to setup and when I look at the Dox box it opens it shows the following:

Remote control interface initialized. Type `help' for help.
Compiler did not align stack variables. Libavcodec has been miscompiled
and may be very slow or crash. This is not a bug in libavcodec,
but in the compiler. Do not report crashes to FFmpeg developers.
