Preferences
Preferences are usually default settings that operate in the background to the operations you want to perform. These are therefore not part of the standard user interface because it is believed you will probably only want access to these occasionally if at all. Should you want to do something a little (or a lot) non-standard then these preferences are important. They allow you to choose non-default audio output channels (e.g. your headphones) or select sub-titles as well as more technical things that probably require some knowledge of video file structures or other in depth knowledge.
The preference sections available under VLC are:
- Interface - Choosing and configuring the alternate interfaces
- Audio - which audio to play through which channels
- Video - which video to play through which channels
- Subtitles & OSD - Some text
- Input & Codecs - How to interpret the video file
- Hotkeys - Some text
Add Interface
If you are using VLC on your Mac to display video on the same Mac's screen(s) then this may be of little interest to you.
The alternate interfaces currently offered are:
- Mouse gestures where you can control VLC by simply moving the mouse
- Web interface for controlling VLC over a network using a browser
- Debug logging
- Console *nix-style non-graphical interfaces
- Command line
