Strange problem with VLC

[NuMackUsr]

I have installed VLC onto my mac since i got it in feburary. I have never been able to use it when i try with ANY type of video i get no sound, green picture and lines all throughout it. I could live with it however this problem makes VLC lag on playback if it plays back at all.

Any ideas on the problem?

I had the same problem with the first versions of VLC 2, but the current version works better. So, if you haven't already done it, I would suggest upgrading to VLC 2.0.3

If I am not mistaken I believe that is the version I have installed. Infact I know it is because I deleted VLC and re-installed with the latest version no luck.

Try getting the latest and last version for PowerPC. That might resolve it.

I went and checked. I had VLC 2.0.1 installed I updated it to 2.0.3 which fixed the video and sound issue however did not fix the lag issue.

Try to delete VLC .plist file (there should be a script to do that on the dmg file you downloaded from the net). If that doesn't solve the issue try contacting the developers on VLC forums. They are doing a great job in keeping VLC alive on powerpc, and this could really help them to iron out the bugs.

I did not download a DMG I updated through VLC itself. Where is the .plist file? I cannot find anything on VLC in the Library folder or the sub folders.

Maybe you can try to Uninstall the current one and install again for the latest version.

Already tried that. Has no effect since I cannot locate the VLC files in the Library folder. Guess I can try using AppDelete as it seems to remove the .plist files.

The easiest way is downloading the VLC dmg from videolan.org
There should be a folder named "goodies" in there. In it you will find a script that will delete the right files from your system. If you want to remove the .plist file manually, I think it should be org.videolan.vlc.plist in /Users/*yourusername*/Library/Preferences

Thanks for letting me know. I will try this when I am back on my Mac later tonight and will repost with the conclusion.

happy to report it works! after deleting in the folder specified and relauunched it works perfect however it still lags only on 3gp videos
