This allows users to use more than one VLC player at a time. Once you've done the above you should be able to play as many VLC instances and video or audio files as you like. On the Mac, running multiple instances of VLC is not supported out of the box. As a workaround, you can create a Droplet/App that does the following. Check any file types for which you want VLC to be the default player, or just check the select all option. Right-click on the type of file you want to always open with VLC. Click 'Get Info'. In the 'Open With' section, select VLC from the drop-down menu. To apply this change to all files of this type, click the 'Change All' button.

The VLC menu

This menu gives you access to non-operational types of commands.

• About VLC media player gives the usual version and creator information,
• Check for Update will tell you if there is a newer version released than the one you are using,
• Preferences gives you access to a very wide range of settings for the program,
• Extensions some text,
• Add Interface enables other ways of getting access to VLC functionality other than the Graphical User Interface programme,
• Services some text,
• the others are standard OSX options which do not affect VLC functionality.

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

• Debug logging
