definitely provable within the limits of this universe, that if there's a file that cannot be played in VLC, it is not meant to be played. Audio or video, VLC eats them http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/vlc-secrets-logging.html all, no matter what encoding, what format, no matter if it's a preview file downloaded in eMule or an online stream. But what happens when VLC does not play a file? In that case, you will be left wondering what may have gone wrong, because VLC will merely shows its traffic cone logo on a black background and refuse to play. That's all.

Do not look into the messages unless you have a problem, because sometimes perfectly playable files will have bad frames, junk, decoding glitches, and a whole lot of other little bugs. You might accidentally overflow your brain with useless information. For example, from my Moron.avi video: That looks crazy. You don't want that. Real life example All right now, you can try to play your un-playing file, to see what gives. Once you finish clicking o
