Because it's a video player that doesn't understand what video is. It's so ham fisted and badly implemented over the years it makes Windows' video decoder architecture look positively divine in comparison. If you try and take vlc out of its comfort zone of a computer monitor and a pair of headphones, the entire thing becomes a cluster gently caress. Is that decoded then reencoded audio being sent to your amplifier or is it the original bitstream via HDMI? Who knows! Vlc won't tell you. Why is the audio coming through as white noise? Vlc stripped the audio headers off the bitstream and put the wrong ones back on.

A normal media player you set the audio device, check the 'send as bitstream' option and that's it, it works.

E: trap sprung

E2: I don't know if I've ever gotten surround sound out of vlc. Usually I'm sick of it by the time I've tried to get it to work that I just open it in Windows media player or mpc-hc. At least those work.

oh well i don't try to do weird things with it so i guess it works fine

I have a portable betacam deck and a tiny Sony miniDV recorder and the miniDV is infolithium-powered so I wouldn't need a battery belt for it, but I'll still need some way to get 120v to the camera and I'm wondering if the BVW-35 would be better at recording a hosed-up composite signal

cyberpunk 2017 thread is that way ->

VC-5 since it's resolution independent, color space independent, supports 12-bpc + alpha, and has quality sliders from proxy, to visually lossless for full VFX workflow.

does vlc support this
