VLC problem
I have been using VLC for almost all video pretty much since I got my Mac. Recently, it just stoped working for no apparent reason. Whenever I try to pen a file, VLC opens fine however the video never starts and the control pane just says "text" where the file name should be (over the time indicator). Also, as soon as VLC opens my computer slows down to the point where it is very choppy and unusable. any suggestions? I've tried deleting VLC and reinstalling it a few times but to no avail.

Permissions are fixable by opening Disk Utility in Applications -> Utilities then in Disk Utility clicking on your Hard Drive and selecting "Repair Disk Permissions". Permissions are exactly that, the User permissions (or preferences) attached to files, folders and applications. If one becomes damaged it can stop an application working properly and make your Mac run slower.
Basicly, it's taken me beck to where I was before. i didn't put it in the message at the beginning but before it really started not working for me, this was the problem I was happening.

You could try deleting the file
org.videolan.vlc.plist
in /Libary/Preferences.
But it seems to me like something else is interfering. Download a new copy of the VLC player - can't hurt.
Did you add any utilities or haxies recently?

Is that 0.8.4a or just 0.8.4, because if its the first then its a work in progress version of VLC. You could try using an older version. You can get these from here.
Try downloading 0.8.2 and see if that works.
Two you could try looking at the VLC FAQ here.
Failing that, go to the VLC site, register on the forums and post your problems in the OS X section of the forums.
Sorry I can't be of anymore help. Have you tried opening a variety of different files with different file formats?
