Music & Video Apps Support

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.

I click on the download button, a page opens and it reads done but nothing else happens. The page is blank. Help?

I have next problem when trying to run VLC with wine in Suse 10.1:

fixme:win:SetWindowTextA setting text "VLC Media Player Portable | PortableApps.com" of other process window (nil) should not use SendMessage
fixme:win:SetWindowTextA setting text "VLC Media Player Portable | PortableApps.com" of other process window (nil) should not use SendMessage

err:module:LdrInitializeThunk "libvlc.dll" failed to initialize, aborting
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\home\\Vovan\\Documents\\VLCPortable\\App\\vlc\\vlc.exe" failed, status c0000142

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'

I'm using VLC as my default media player when downloading Streamed video. Is it possible (maybe via an add-in) to record what's being displayed, a bit like Tivo/Sky+ features?.

"If you wish to select a specific language, open VLC Portable. From the main menu, select Settings and then Preferences..." etc...

How am I meant to find this when it's in Chinese?!

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.
