VLC: how to view final frame?

[terrypin]

When I play a file with VLC (1.1.9) it stays briefly on the final frame and then empties the window. After that I cannot move the slider.

How do I:
1. Get it instead to stay on the final frame?
2. View any frame using the slider?

Open 'Advanced Controls' from the 'View' menu and a frame-by-frame button appears (down-arrow inside a film frame). Just click that from pause to play each frame.

Or use VirtualDub, can use the slider, or frame advance with the arrow keys, or use control-G to go to any frame.

You can also use "custom interface" under "view" to add the "frame by frame" button to the lower line. I also moved "snapshot" there. Also keyboard Shift+> or Shift+< moves about 3 second steps. These work with MPeg as well.



The "frame by frame" button works great for identifying telecine or frame repeat patterns.

Nice tip about the custom interface.

Thanks all. I'll follow up on those suggestions.
