VLC Player

Post by unforgiven »

Hi All,

I have a question about the program VLC Player

Every time I wanne make a snapshot i get the message:
streaming/ transcoding not allowed, VLC cant open the encoder.

Any clue for this error?

normaly the Tab: >> Video >> choose make snapshot ( the option is in the middle off the tabbar, nowcsnapshot is all the way down in the Tab and when I choose to make a snap the message follows I wrote before:(

So before I wanne take a snap , I see if it will work or noet ( when the coice is all the way down, the error comes)

Cheers and thanks in advance

JW

I don't know. I always use MPC-HC (+LAV Filters) it's better then VLC in my opinion :) You could try.

I just updated to the latest version and yes the option to take snapshot is at the bottom of the tab,mine worked fine when i tried it.maybe it's something in your options?
Or maybe just un-install and install it fresh?

I use to think this, but sometimes dvds come up with the menu then the screen goes green and i cant take a snapshot. Only dvds authored by a particular program do this, most others are fine. It's really annoying because i then have to a screenshot and copy/cut/save in microsoft paint.....vlc is good but thats great imo <_<

try to completely delete it and reinstall it, that might work!
