RE: Michael Casey: “Do you know of a program to copy .vro files to other formats?”

If VLC is capable of playing this type of file, then it can actually be used to convert it to (almost?) any other format that VLC supports (known as transcoding). Under the file menu, click “Wizard” then select the option “Transcode/Save to file”… then follow the prompts.
Described here: http://www.videolan.org/doc/streaming-howto/en/ch02.html#id288450

Note: this isn’t the best way to convert formats, but for the occasional use it’s a lot more convenient than having to find/buy software dedicated to this purpose…

I just downloaded the program and i am very pleased of it.
It is just i’ve been looking for to use for playing my vro file
from my video camera.
it is a super good player.
the only thing that i did’nt liked is that in full screen i did’nt have controls
of the position in the file; it is something witch is not yet done in th e program, or is it something that i did’nt yet discovered how to do it .
anyway double click, and in the window mode all the usual controls are available; i go to the segment y want to see and double click again; it is not very difficult;
anyway y like it very much .
thanks !

VLC 0.8.5 works fine with win98 (first edition) as long as you don’t try the Advanced Menu options. Then it will crash.

Not sure if it’s the same version (I think it is) but I’ve been running VLC for a few weeks now on my garage office PC. It’s a “homemade” box that runs NT 4.0 Workstation on the master drive. VLC works like a charm on it!

FWIW I run PCLinuxOS on the slave drive and of the dozen or so free distributions of Linux I’ve tried over the past year it’s the one I think I’ll stick with.

I have been using VLC .0.8.5 for quite some time on a variety of computers and think its great. It is rare that you can’t play a media file using this program. I also carry it around on a usb thumbdrive and it has come in handy on many occasions. It also starts up fairly quickly compared to other programs.

I also have it set up on my notebook to monitor local emergency calls much like the old scanners would do.It is a small program, doesn’t use many resources and I recommend it highly. In fact I wrote a short blurb about it on my web site some time ago.

My thoughts on this program agree with yours.

Excellent program. It even plays .vro files that all programs are not capable of. Do you know of a program to copy .vro files to other formats?

Kepp up the excellet work.
