VLC definitively needs a "simple" preferences window. Here is a list of some of the settings which would be needed:

(?)==(i'm not sure about this one)

  • interface settings:
    • default interface
    • one instance mode (win32 only)
    • hotkeys
  • video settings:
      • Enable video output
      • Full screen video output
      • Skip Frames (?)
      • Overlay video output
      • Always on top
      • all of Snapshot (or at least so that users can set assignment of directory and format)
      • aspect ratio (?) -- Disagree. Is a seldom used function -- User:DJ
      • Windows decorations (?)
    • output module -- Disagree. Only needs to be modified in case of problems -- User:Zorglub --> It's still one of the options which many people have to change, having it handy will be usefull -- User:Dionoea
      • DirectX
        • Name of desired display device
        • Enable wallpaper mode (?)
    • ffmpeg-hq ? -- Is this out of place? I can't find it in this context -- User:DJ
  • audio settings:
    • output module (?) -- Disagree. Only needs to be modified in case of problems -- User:Zorglub --> It's still one of the options which many people have to change, having it handy will be usefull -- User:DJ
    • DirectX Audio output
      • output device
  • subtitles settings:
    • default encoding
    • size
    • color
    • font
  • service discovery modules -- Not needed if we are able to remember them cleanly
  • some "control" interfaces (http, msn, growl ...) (?)
  • HTTP proxy
  • HTTP caching
