== Change UI language ==
You can use '''Tools -> Preferences'''... (set '''Show Settings''' to '''All''') and '''Interface''' and select correct language from '''Language''' drop down list.

Remember to press '''Save''' to save VLC settings and restart VLC after that to make sure changes are enabled.

Also you can use --'''language'''= from command line if you can't navigate with current language or you want to use batch files/scripts. for example: vlc -'''-language=en''' to get English.

Other options are auto, en, ar, pt_BR, en_GB, ca, zh_TW, cs, da, nl, fi, fr, gl, ka, de, he, hu, it, ja, ko, ms, oc, fa, pl, pt_PT, ro, ru, zh_CN, sr, sk, sl, es, sv, tr

== Can I perform same repair action? ==
Yes you can.

This can be done from '''Tools -> Preferences''' (set '''Show Settings''' to'''All''') and'''Input / Codecs -> Demuxers -> AVI''' and select the wanted action from Force index creation dropdown box. Ask is default (it will always ask what you want to do).

Always fix tries to always fix AVI files and Never fix always starts the playback without fixing. Remember to press '''Save''' to save VLC settings and restart VLC after that to make sure changes are enabled.

VSG:DVD:Movies lag

2011-12-13T17:10:04Z

Redangel:

== DVD Movies lag ==
One thing that might help is increasing the VLC DVD cache.

This can be done from'''Tools -> Preferences''' (set '''Show Settings''' to '''All''') and'''Input / Codecs -> Access Modules -> DVD''' with menus (or DVD without menus if you use '''dvdsimple method''' for playback) and increase '''Caching value in MS''' value to for example to'''5000''' or to '''20000'''. Remember to press '''Save''' to save '''VLC settings''' and restart '''VLC''' after that to make sure changes are enabled. If'''DVD files''' from hard drive work better, then check that your '''DVD drive''' has'''DMA enabled''' (if it is a'''IDE/ATAPI DVD drive''').

VSG:DVD:Crash

2011-12-13T17:09:49Z

Redangel:

== DVD Movies don't work or crash ==
If you open '''DVD''' with DVD selection, try with'''No DVD menus''' option (aka'''dvdsimple''').

Some new DVD movies use copy protection mechanisms that VLC doesn't support.It might help if you rip that movie to hard drive using tools like '''DVDFab Decrypter''' or '''AnyDVD''' and use VLC to playback these files from hard drive.

You may also be able to play these copy protected DVDs by opening the movie initialization file directly. Use the '''Open File''' function in VLC and navigate to the '''VIDEO_TS''' directory on the DVD, then open the'''VIDEO_TS.IFO''' file. Some of the newest copy protection schemes have been found to use tricks that confuse many of the current DVD software programs so they cannot locate this file properly to initiate playback on their own. This method has been found to work with some of the newest DVDs that won't open properly in VLC 1.1.11 using the standard approaches.
