Is there anyone that uses this proggie on a regular..?

I really dig it, but it does the most annoying thing...When I'm trying to seek forward in a movie by using the slider, it skips ahead a shitload of time...The only player that I've seen that does what I am talking about is Quicktime...And Virtual dub does it...You grab the slider w/your mouse, and you can scan video that way...Maybe its a setting I've missed..?

Hey dude... VLC is the hands down best video program out there IMO....

If you press CTRL+Right/Left Arrow it should skip forward/back...

However if you click on the little slider and drag it across it'll skip to wherever you want it to go....

If you start randomly clicking along the length of the file then it jumps random amounts... But just drag the little cursos thing and you go forward/back according to how much you want..

As much as I like VLC media player, I think the media player classic is better at most things. It has more settings, and if you have a video decoder installed then you can use more video/audio settings on the clip. It also uses up less resources on my cpu. About the only thing it can't do is take quicktime screens but I never bother with .mov files since they're a dog running on my computer. Plus, I think the lines are sharper on media player classic. It could just be me though.

MPC is good, shit, it might do what I need it to do...

VLC is quite useful for scavengers like me who come across shitty clips encoded with some archaic bullshit codec nobody uses anymore. I find it's use, annoying on PC, but it runs very smoothly on MACs

#6

VLC runs pretty well on my PC man... doesn't really take up much system resources and doesn't seem to affect anything else... could also have something to do with the 2GB of RAM though...

Anyways Ja, does MPC do what you were looking for?

And I'm assuming you can use all the codec packs and what not and apply them to MPC and it will work fine?

I've never had problems with MPC. I've used just about every codec I can think of with it. The new version saves multiple thumbnails which is useful for posting videos on a forum. I usually encode movies using h264 so it can use up resources but with MPC it's smooth sailing. They're both good programs but I like the way the full anamorphic rips I do look on MPC.

MPC is good, but it doesn't do the live seek either...Maybe I'll experiment with Virtual dub as a porn scanner...LoL...

#9

What exactly are you trying to do AYHJA?

could depend on the source clip and where the key frames are also, you can try re-indexing in virtual dub and make more keyframes to provide smoother seeking
