  • Mac OS X: ~/Library/Preferences/VLC
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\vlc\vlcrc
    • Windows 95/98/ME: C:\Windows\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc
    • Windows XP/2000: C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc
    • Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\vlc\vlcrc
  • BeOS: config/settings/vlcrc
