Greetings, all! In our facility at Boston College we've recently upgraded to iMacs running Leopard (10.5.3). We've downloaded the VLC media player (version 0.8.6h) to these machines, but are experiencing various problems and inconsistencies in the playback of DVDs (NTSC Region 1 and PAL Region 2) using this version of VLC. The most frequent occurrence is a quick flashing of a black screen upon start-up of the DVD in VLC, then no playback functionality at all. Curiously enough, on these same Leopard machines we have installed Bootcamp with Windows. On the Windows side the VLC media player starts up immediately and plays back both region 1 and region 2 DVDs without a problem. Has anyone else on this listserv experienced these same problems/ inconsistencies using VLC with Leopard? My tech consultant and I would greatly appreciate any feedback and/or suggested work-arounds or fixes to these VLC/Leopard issues within the native Mac environment. Thanks so much for your valued input. Cindy Bravo ___________________________ Cynthia N.
