Hi I used to get the same error. After I ran make world and rebuilt the ports from scratch, vlc started to work properly again. The version is now 0.2.83. Perhaps this later version fixes the virtual timer problem. If you have an older version of vlc, try rebuilding it. kt On Sun, Aug 26, 2001 at 02:57:04AM -0700, Andrew Stuart wrote: > On Sat, 25 Aug 2001 at 16:45:12 -0700, Andrew Stuart wrote: > > On Fri, 24 Aug 2001 at 15:47:09 +0200, Mikko Tyolajarvi wrote: > > > In local.freebsd.questions you write: > > > > > > >I've been testing out an install of vlc with an old DVD demo disc a friend of > > > >mine got with his computer several years ago (yes, I have no other DVDs!). > > > > > > >Every time I try to open the disc, I get the message "Virtual timer expired", > > > >and the program exits. > > > > > > => SIGVTALRM > > > > > > >Is this a problem with vlc, or is it some sort of hard-coded time limit on the > > > >demo DVD itself? > > > > > > Most likely a vlc problem.
