Re: Vlc For Mac
The official story of VLC player goes back to 1996, when a few students of École Centrale Paris in France developed the app as their academic project. Back then, they called it VideoLAN Client (VLC for short). As VLC player got more and more recognition and became popular worldwide, the original developers released the code under the open-source license, so that anyone could fix bugs and contribute new features.
Movist Pro not only effortlessly decodes any video you come across (with an option to select decoders manually if needed) but also lets you configure the perfect video-watching scenario, including the quality and the size of each file.
The simplest way to set VLC as the default media player for Windows is during installation of VLC. During set-up, VLC will ask you if you want to associate certain media file types (such as .mp3, .flv, .wav) with VLC; for each "association" chosen opening that file type will launch it in VLC. By default, all are selected, though you might (or might not) want to un-check file types you'd like to open with another programme.
Right-click on the type of file you want to always open with VLC. Click 'Get Info'. In the 'Open With' section, select VLC from the drop-down menu. To apply this change to all files of this type, click the 'Change All' button.
For optical media, like CDs or DVDs, go to Apple -> System Preferences and choose "CDs/DVDs" in the Hardware section. Choose "Other Application" from the respective popup menu button. The list is alphabetical, so VLC should be near the bottom of the list.
Using Nautilus 2.30.1, from the top menu bar choose "Places", then Home Folder -> Edit menu -> Preferences -> choose Media tab -> and in the drop-down list next to "DVD Video" choose "Open VLC media player".Voilà.
In Fedora 10 the path /usr/share/applications/ will take you to these 2 files that configure what application opens a type of file.defaults.listmimeinfo.cacheP.S.: Both files will point to a Desktop Entry file ([name of the file].desktop) that is inside the applications folder, and the 2 important things inside that file are the configurations for what MIME Types the application can handle, and how to launch the application.
A Desktop Entry file is a data file that provides information about an item in a menu.The desktop entry specification describes desktop entries as files describing information about an application such as the name, MIME Types it handles, icon, and description. These files are used for application launchers and for creating menus of applications that can be launched.If you don't have the VLC Desktop Entry file, or it disappears for some reason you will have to make one. Look here for some pointers.
For example:Registry of MIME Type (video/quicktime) in mimeinfo.cache to use VLC.video/quicktime=livna-vlc.desktop;totem.desktop;miro.desktop;The format is:[MIME Type]=[Name of the Desktop Entry file]Note: You can put more than one Desktop Entry, but they need to be separated by a semi-colon (;), see the example above.Those extra entries will appear as options when you right-click on the video file and go to the Open With submenu.Tip: Nautilus don't show the real names of the Desktop Entry files. Either drag and drop it on gedit so you see the name on the tab, or use ls to list the files on the command line.
Here you can download experimental versions of VLC that are daily generated from the VLC code that is currently in development.Several issues that existed in previous versions of VLC might be fixed here, but since this version of VLC is not yet finished, you should expect other problems and issues.
In order to test it, follow the usual instructions to install VLC as described on www.videolan.org/vlc/download-suse.html, but replace the packagename vlc with vlc-beta. You can only install one version, so either vlc OR vlc-beta. They conflict each other.
Most VLC controls are free, such as Stop, Pause, Play, Volume Control, Play Next and Play Previous, Seek Control, Fast Forward and Fast Rewind, Toggle Full-Screen, Repeat, Shuffle, Loop, Aspect Ratio, DVD Control, etc.
Once you are there click the + and select VLC from the Application menu at the top, then type in the EXACT menu name. Exact is important it has to be capitalized correctly and if it has "..." at the end remember that is not three periods its an ellipsis which you get by pressing Option;. Then click in the Keyboard Shortcut field and tap the key you want to assign. In your case that would be F7.
As described in this videolan forum thread VLC provides an AppleScript "dictionary" which can be used to automate it, including play to toggle play/plause, step backward N, and step forward N. Here is a simple example:
Before you invest in Hammerspoon, you can install it and use its Console to first test that it will work to control VLC with this:hs.osascript.applescript("tell application \"VLC\" to step backward 1")
Since I already gave up using the media keys themselves, I created Hammerspoon shortcuts which worked better from within my editor to control VLC playback, making it easy to transcribe without lifting my fingers from the home row: Control + Shift + j for step backward 1 etc.
I also followed that videolan thread to Mac for Translators and a way to insert the current time code playing in VLC into your editor or clipboard. Transcription with VLC is so easy now. I'll have to try it with audio too.

While both of these applications support the majority of codecs you would want such as MKV, FLV, WMV, AVI, MOV, MP4and FLAC, you might still have to tinker around with VLC in order to get things right. For example, you might have to download additional software to enable the use of codecs such as K-Lite Codec Pack for Mac. This not only wastes time but often times you will experience a lot of issues with these third parties as well. Thankfully, Elmedie does not require any additional software and works right out the box.
One of the most important aspects of a video player is certainly the support for subtitles. The developers of Elmedia Player went over the board with the customization options and you can do everything you want. From fonts to size, to position and text color, the world is your oyster. More than this, this VLC media player alternative supports all the popular subtitle formats (SRT, ASS, SMIL). And the greatest part of it all? You can download subtitles automatically from OpenSubtitles.org with the press of a button, as long as you have the PRO version.
Elmedia is noticeably more GPU efficient than VLC when it comes to rendering video files and provides the best quality possible on your device. The media player can also support up to 8K resolutions with ease and is a great alternative to VLC, which has an outdated design and does not utilize the GPU to its full potential.
While you can play all the videos you want with Elmadia Player, this powerful tool can also function as an image gallery for your video files. This means that you can create an array of screenshots from a video and have them stored as a little preview for your project for example. This also allows you to identify and review material if you are working with hundreds of files.
Another great alternative for VLC is 5KPlayer. This popular service, as the name suggests, is suitable for those looking to play high-quality videos at higher resolutions. Not as feature-rich as Elmedia, 5K offers users a strong array of options such as the ability to convert music videos to MP3s and streaming through the most popular options such as DLNA or AirPlay. It can also work as an alternative for screencaptures, as it can do those as well.
The VLC media player is a popular tool for watching videos, listening to music, and editing them. However, if for some reason you need to uninstall VLC from your Mac, this article is for you. We will share two methods on how to uninstall the VLC media player on Mac completely and correctly.
