VLC: Using new codecs

Submitted by SirAeryn on June 21, 2006 - 1:27am

G'day,

I've tried Portable VLC at a couple of locations. At home, I have k-lite codec pack installed in windows with ffdshow etc to play back AVC codecs like x264. On my work computer though, P-VLC just shows a blank window where the video should be.

Does VLC need any of the windows codecs to be installed - it shouldn't to be portable! Should I copy the AVC codec DLL file into a directory on my flash drive?

My video is compressed as x264 with AAC audio in an MP4 container.

Cheers

VLC: Suggested update

not sure if it's the right place for that kind of stuff, but I noticed that if you capture a screenshot wusing the app, it will automatically save it to your my documents folder on your C drive.

I think it would be nice to have it saved to, let say, .\screencaps

Thanks!

VLC: registry and media options

Submitted by gildan2020 on May 17, 2006 - 12:45pm

Hi all,

This is my first time using this Portable VLC and I would like to ask a few questions regarding its usage:

1) Does it leave any registry entries behind when I run this program on my comp or any other comp?

2) If I burn Portable VLC into a CD-R, will I encounter any problem when trying to run it straight from the CD? Will it attempt to write/modify a file in the Portable VLC directory?

thanks all,
gildan2020
