I have noticed when using ubuntu (and windows for that matter), that vlc will sometimes fail when opening a file, or appear to, only when I close the program the process stays alive and plays me the audio, so I have to end or kill the process manually. Could this not be done automatically ?
This has only happened once or twice, and I'm not sure I could recreate it deliberately.

When I used a GOM player (http://www.gomlab.com),
when you click on movie - it makes automatic playlist of all video files in a folder that you watch current movie,
and when it finishes player start to play next until last file in a folder.

List of files is sorting by alphabet,
so it's very usefull when you watch TV series,
for ex. House M.D. - you don't need to make a playlist or if you forgot to do this - get up to computer and press "next" button.

I spent countless hours scouring the net for some Video player software, because I primarily want to watch DVDs on it. I cant understand why I cant - I tried with several applications, got the same results - Perhaps I am trying to watch copyrighted DVDs on a Open Source system?

Anyways, I really wish that applications had told me that I could not watch DVD (for legal reasons), an now as a result, I cannot watch any DVDs that I want to watch.

That aside, how come Windows gets to watch copyrighted movies and Linux system dont? Is this for legal reasons, or what?

Someone reply, please.

When opening a movie, the normal behaviour is to open the window to fit the pixel size of the data stream. If the movie is low resolution the user will most likely resize it to a more useful window. Likewise if it is large it may perhaps need to be reduced.

The window size is key to the user experience, not the resolution. The resolution simply determines the quality of the image.

Constantly resizing player windows is a pain if working on or viewing a number of clips

lets say VLC is playing a song in the backround and im choosing other song , insted of dragging them into the playlist Ubuntu should have an add this to VLC playlist button like in windows. it makes life easier for people.

What else can I say? It would be one less thing I would need Windows for! I have a few downloaded Amazon VOD movies on my Windows machine. (I am in the process of considering Ubuntu since Windows sucks and I can't afford a Mac.)

Hi!

It would be very nice and useful if Ubuntu developers can find a way to integrate VLC in the Gnome Panel ( Taskbar ) just like Windows Media Player in Windows Taskbar or Like iTunes in Windows also.

The latest version of VLC media player in the repositories is 0.9.4, but the latest version on VideoLAN's website is 0.9.8a. Please keep it updated!

If I am not having internet connection and the only source of Ubuntu packages is a windows PC with internet, I will have to download the packages and dependencies manually to a pen drive and install it later in my PC.My idea is, if there is a reference link for details of any program packages and dependencies that we propose to download manually for installtion in the installed vertion of Ubuntu in Package manager Help menu -> home page / Discription of the package etc, it will be very useful.

Presently I found a link for the same but unluckily it has reference of only i386 versions of Ubuntu not amd64 etc. The address is http://labs.fajran.web.id/p/apt-web/.

A similar site for other versions may be maintained by Ubuntu.

I active autodetection in VLC's preferences. I open any video with subtitles in her folder. Subtitle file don't load.

I fix this editing /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop

Sorry for my bad english.
