Documentation

You can find VLC documentation on VideoLAN's wiki website.

If you are a newcomer to VLC media player, please read the
Introduction to VLC media player.

You will find some information on how to use the player in the
"How to play files with VLC media player" document.

For all the saving, converting, transcoding, encoding, muxing and streaming tasks, you should find useful information in the Streaming Documentation.

If you are unsure about terminology, please consult the knowledge base.

To understand the main keyboard shortcuts, read the shortcuts page.

This must be an hexadecimal (like HTML colors). The first two chars are for red, then green, then blue. #000000 = black, #FF0000 = red, #00FF00 = green, #FFFF00 = yellow (red + green), #FFFFFF = whiteThe decoder can partially decode or skip frame(s) when there is not enough time. It's useful with low CPU power but it can produce distorted pictures.The encoder can make on-the-fly quality tradeoffs if your CPU can't keep up with the encoding rate. It will disable trellis quantization, then the rate distortion of motion vectors (hq), and raise the noise reduction threshold to ease the encoder's task.The maximum number of filters (%u) was reached.The media library is automatically saved and reloaded each time you start VLC.The playlist can use a tree to categorize some items, like the contents of a directory.The step size of the volume is adjustable using this option.The stream will run this duration (in seconds).The stream will start at this position (in seconds).The stream will stop at this position (in seconds).The volume can be recorded and automatically restored next time VLC is used.The wallpaper mode allows you to display the video as the desktop background.Theora video encoderTheora video packetizerThese options allow you to configure the interfaces used by VLC. You can select the main interface, additional interface modules, and define various related options.These options allow you to modify the behavior of the audio subsystem, and to add audio filters which can be used for post processing or visual effects (spectrum analyzer, etc.). Enable these filters here, and configure them in the "audio filters" modules section.These options allow you to modify the behavior of the input subsystem, such as the DVD or VCD device, the network interface settings or the subtitle channel.These options allow you to modify the behavior of the subpictures subsystem. You can for example enable subpictures sources (logo, etc.). Enable these filters here and configure them in the "subsources filters" modules section. You can also set many miscellaneous subpictures options.These options allow you to modify the behavior of the video output subsystem. You can for example enable video filters (deinterlacing, image adjusting, etc.). Enable these filters here and configure them in the "video filters" modules section. You can also set many miscellaneous video options.These options allow you to select default modules. Leave these alone unless you really know what you are doing.These options allow you to set default global options for the stream output subsystem.These options define the behavior of the playlist. Some of them can be overridden in the playlist dialog box.These settings are the global VLC key bindings, known as "hotkeys".This adds audio post processing filters, to modify the sound rendering.This adds post-processing filters to enhance the picture quality, for instance deinterlacing, or distort the video.This adds so-called "subpicture filters". These filter subpictures created by subtitle decoders or other subpictures sources.This adds so-called "subpicture sources". These filters overlay some images or text over the video (like a logo, arbitrary text, ...).This adds video splitters like clone or wallThis adds visualization modules (spectrum analyzer, etc.).This allow you to configure the initial caching amount for stream output muxer. This value should be set in milliseconds.This allows playing audio at lower or higher speed without affecting the audio pitchThis allows proper handling of HDTV-1080 video format even if broken encoder incorrectly sets height to 1088 lines. You should only disable this option if your video has a non-standard format requiring all 1088 lines.This allows you to change the default target level (89 dB) for stream with replay gain informationThis allows you to keep an unique stream output instance across multiple playlist item (automatically insert the gather stream output if not specified)This allows you to play from several inputs at the same time. This feature is experimental, not all formats are supported. Use a '#' separated list of inputs.This allows you to remotely synchronise clocks for server and client. The detailed settings are available in Advanced / Network Sync.This allows you to select the order in which VLC will choose its packetizers.This avoids flooding the message log with debug output from the video output synchronization mechanism.This defines the address the RTSP server will listen on, along with the base path of the RTSP VOD media. Syntax is address/path. By default, the server will listen on any local IP address. Specify an IP address (e.g. ::1 or 127.0.0.1) or a host name (e.g. localhost) to restrict them to a specific network interface.This defines the maximum input delay jitter that the synchronization algorithms should try to compensate (in milliseconds).This defines the playback speed (nominal speed is 1.0).This delays the audio output. The delay must be given in milliseconds. This can be handy if you notice a lag between the video and the audio.This determines how fuzzy subtitle and movie filename matching will be. Options are: 0 = no subtitles autodetected 1 = any subtitle file 2 = any subtitle file containing the movie name 3 = subtitle file matching the movie name with additional chars 4 = subtitle file matching the movie name exactlyThis drops frames that are late (arrive to the video output after their intended display date).This effect, also known as "greenscreen" or "chroma key" blends the "blue parts" of the foreground image of the mosaic on the background (like weather forecasts). You can choose the "key" color for blending (blue by default).This enables VLC hotkeys from the (non-embedded) video window.This enables colorization of the messages sent to the console. Your terminal needs Linux color support for this to work.This enables handling of mouse clicks on the video.This forces the cropping of the source video. Accepted formats are x:y (4:3, 16:9, etc.) expressing the global image aspect.This forces the monitor aspect ratio. Most monitors have square pixels (1:1). If you have a 16:9 screen, you might need to change this to 4:3 in order to keep proportions.This forces the source aspect ratio. For instance, some DVDs claim to be 16:9 while they are actually 4:3. This can also be used as a hint for VLC when a movie does not have aspect ratio information. Accepted formats are x:y (4:3, 16:9, etc.) expressing the global image aspect, or a float value (1.25, 1.3333, etc.) expressing pixel squareness.This is a legacy entry to let you configure access output modulesThis is the audio output method used by VLC.

The first two chars are for red, then green, then blue. #000000 = black, #FF0000 = red, #00FF00 = green, #FFFF00 = yellow (red + green), #FFFFFF = whiteThe decoder can partially decode or skip frame(s) when there is not enough time. It’s useful with low CPU power but it can produce distorted pictures.The encoder can make on-the-fly quality tradeoffs if your CPU can’t keep up with the encoding rate. It will disable trellis quantisation, then the rate distortion of motion vectors (hq), and raise the noise reduction threshold to ease the encoder’s task.The maximum number of filters (%u) was reached.The media library is automatically saved and reloaded each time you start VLC.The playlist can use a tree to categorise some items, like the contents of a directory.The step size of the volume is adjustable using this option.The stream will run this duration (in seconds).The stream will start at this position (in seconds).The stream will stop at this position (in seconds).The volume can be recorded and automatically restored next time VLC is used.The wallpaper mode allows you to display the video as the desktop background.Theora video encoderTheora video packetiserThese options allow you to configure the interfaces used by VLC. You can select the main interface, additional interface modules, and define various related options.These options allow you to modify the behaviour of the audio subsystem, and to add audio filters which can be used for post processing or visual effects (spectrum analyser, etc.). Enable these filters here, and configure them in the "audio filters" modules section.These options allow you to modify the behaviour of the input subsystem, such as the DVD or VCD device, the network interface settings or the subtitle channel.These options allow you to modify the behaviour of the subpictures subsystem. You can for example enable subpictures sources (logo, etc.). Enable these filters here and configure them in the "subsources filters" modules section. You can also set many miscellaneous subpictures options.These options allow you to modify the behaviour of the video output subsystem. You can for example enable video filters (deinterlacing, image adjusting, …). Enable these filters here and configure them in the "video filters" modules section. You can also set many miscellaneous video options.These options allow you to select default modules. Leave these alone unless you really know what you are doing.These options allow you to set default global options for the stream output subsystem.These options define the behaviour of the playlist. Some of them can be overridden in the playlist dialogue box.These settings are the global VLC key bindings, known as "hotkeys".This adds audio post processing filters, to modify the sound rendering.This adds post-processing filters to enhance the picture quality, for instance deinterlacing, or distort the video.This adds so-called "subpicture filters". These filter subpictures created by subtitle decoders or other subpictures sources.This adds so-called "subpicture sources". These filters overlay some images or text over the video (like a logo, arbitrary text, ...).This adds video splitters like clone or wallThis adds visualisation modules (spectrum analyser, etc.).This allow you to configure the initial caching amount for stream output muxer. This value should be set in milliseconds.This allows playing audio at lower or higher speed without affecting the audio pitchThis allows proper handling of HDTV-1080 video format even if a broken encoder incorrectly sets the height to 1088 lines. You should only disable this option if your video has a non-standard format requiring all 1088 lines.This allows you to change the default target level (89 dB) for stream with replay gain informationThis allows you to keep an unique stream output instance across multiple playlist item (automatically insert the gather stream output if not specified)This allows you to play from several inputs at the same time. This feature is experimental, not all formats are supported. Use a “#” separated list of input.This allows you to remotely synchronise clocks for server and client. The detailed settings are available in Advanced / Network Sync.This allows you to select the order in which VLC will choose its packetisers.This avoids flooding the message log with debug output from the video output synchronisation mechanism.This defines the address the RTSP server will listen on, along with the base path of the RTSP VOD media. The syntax is address/path. By default, the server will listen on any local IP address. Specify an IP address (e.g. ::1 or 127.0.0.1) or a hostname (e.g. localhost) to restrict them to a specific network interface.This defines the maximum input delay jitter that the synchronisation algorithms should try to compensate for (in milliseconds).This defines the playback speed (nominal speed is 1.0).This delays the audio output. The delay must be given in milliseconds. This can be handy if you notice a lag between the video and the audio.This determines how fuzzy subtitle and movie filename matching will be. Options are: 0 = no subtitles auto-detected 1 = any subtitle file 2 = any subtitle file containing the movie name 3 = subtitle file matching the movie name with additional chars 4 = subtitle file matching the movie name exactlyThis drops frames that are late (arrive to the video output after their intended display date).This effect, also known as "greenscreen" or "chroma key" blends the "blue parts" of the foreground image of the mosaic on the background (like weather forecasts). You can choose the "key" colour for blending (blue by default).This enables VLC hotkeys from the (non-embedded) video window.This enables colourisation of the messages sent to the console. Your terminal needs Linux colour support for this to work.This enables handling of mouse clicks on the video.This forces the cropping of the source video. Accepted formats are x:y (4:3, 16:9, etc.) expressing the global image aspect.This forces the monitor aspect ratio. Most monitors have square pixels (1:1). If you have a 16:9 screen, you might need to change this to 4:3 in order to keep proportions.This forces the source aspect ratio. For instance, some DVDs claim to be 16:9 while they are actually 4:3. This can also be used as a hint for VLC when a movie does not have aspect ratio information. Accepted formats are x:y (4:3, 16:9, etc.) expressing the global image aspect, or a float value (1.25, 1.3333, etc.) expressing pixel squareness.This is a legacy entry to let you configure access output modulesThis is the audio output method used by VLC.
