Hmmmm.....lets see if we can rule out Vista.....can you open the file on the client PC (XP machine) using native VLC?

OK, I copied a file to the client pc and it worked fine there.

As I was looking at the black screen for the video playing on the GBPVR PC, it almost looks as if the black kind of pulses. I don't really know how to describe it. It doesn't stay solid deep black the whole time.

I should have tried to look this up before. It does apear to be a Vista issue.

This fixed the problem for me.

I set my preference to "OpenGL video output"

Well....then I think the issue is something with Vista and VLC.....otherwise the video would not have played on the client.

Do some searches on Google with Vista, VLC and MPeg and see what comes up.....I am now curious....

I haven't taken the plunge to vista yet.....this would be a big issue for me.
