![]() Which is the whole *point* of the benefit of OSS. Step 2: To loop the file in the playlist, from the bottom toggle the loop button. Go to the Media menu and go to open the file. ![]() So with OSS - we have the "benefit" that "everyone can look under the hood, and tweak the engine" - but in practice that is (as far as I know) impossible - unless you want to lock yourself into a single version and not benefit from any further updates. Step 1: Open the VLC media player and open the file or files you want to loop. ![]() But I *shouldn't have to*.Īnd if I *do* decide to change the code to suit my peculiarity of wanting the interface to be simpler, what about when the code is updated? Can I make a fork where my changes will stay "constant" even as code around it changes? I have no idea. Yes, I can just click the "loop playlist" button (Windows apparently) or press Command-L (Mac - there doesn't seem to be a button. The "ordinary user" who has no programming experience is screwed. This would take about 5 minutes, plus 1-2 hours (at least) to dig around in the code to figure out how everything is hooked up (plain C, OO, Qt with "meta-interface" files, etc). Yes, I could download the code and make a presumably very small change to make sure the "playlist loop" flag is off when "convert-save" is activated, and the set it back afterward. But it surely cannot be the *expected* behavior of a first-time user (I don't even know why the converted file is added to the playlist *all* all. Yes, this is "I suppose" then "logical behavior" - given how the code is writte. ![]() You can also rip DVD with Windows Media Player with ease. This is one thing that ticks me off about open-source software: Yes, the fix is easy - turn off Loop playback, so it doesn't try to (I think) play the converted file again, and then re-convert the first file, etc, etc. To play your MP4 video, you can right click on it, choose Open with and then select the Windows Media Player.
