VLC: Firefox default
Is there a way to make this the default media program for Firefox?

Im just curious as to why have this here since you can get one from the main vlc site that is porable. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
You just download the zip archive instead of the exe.
Check it out. VLC can't handle WMV3 without having WMP10 installed, which means PVLC isn't quite portable.

There is a minor bug in the launcher if you use:
-\ --- Directory with PortableVLC.exe
+\PortableVLC\
+\App\
+\vlc\
+\Data\
+\settings\
PortableVLC.nsi contains:
IfFileExists "$EXEDIR\${NAME}\App\${DEFAULTAPPDIR}\${DEFAULTEXE}" "" CheckPortableAppsDIR
StrCpy "$PROGRAMDIRECTORY" "$EXEDIR\App\${NAME}\${DEFAULTAPPDIR}"
StrCpy "$SETTINGSDIRECTORY" "$EXEDIR\Data\${NAME}\${DEFAULTSETTINGSDIR}"
Note that Name\App is what is checked, but App\Name is what is set.
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
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!
I am sorry for asking coz I do not know much about VLC player but was wondering if I can play the songs from Internet which require say for example...the real player?
I noted that the VLC player can play .rm files from the hard disk.
Thanks in advance!!
Hi,
Anyone used a player that can handle these weird .flv files? The older version of vlc could play the audio portion, but not the video. This latest version can't do v or a.
Thanks, Fletch
There is no option for selecting which file types will be associated with VLC. If I set in file association in widows my computer, for example, it says: not valid application of win32 type...thanks
It would like to know if they alguem can help me to configure vlc pra to tranmitir a video way Internet? I want to know which better codecs, doors..
