Couldn't you either - make a playlist if you want to watch several movies.

Or allow multiple instances of VLC - so you can have simultaneous video playback.

How can I do this? Thanks!

Running 0.9.8

My apologies, it appears that multiple instances feature is only in the Windows version of VLC. (I used VLC back when I lived in the dark side)

It appears to be submitted on the feature request list for the OSX version - but I'd browse the videolan forums / wiki for more information on it.

Didn't intend to mislead you there.

open -n ?

On OSX, you can start a multiple instances of any Application by using "open -n". For instance, to start a second instance of VLC, you would type

open -n /Applications/VLC.app

in the Terminal.
