INI file gets overwritten each time either program is run (to save Most Recently Played history, window sizes and positions, etc.), so settings you made for VLCWarper can get lost by running standalone VLC, and vice versa. INI file, stored in the user's personal AppData folder location. One problem stems from the fact both VLC and VLCWarper share the same. If you already have another version of VLC installed, you will encounter issues that will require some working around. If you're only playing MOVs with stereo audio, you should be fine. When playing QuickTime MOVs with 6 discrete audio channels embedded for surround sound, VLC mis-assigns the speaker outputs: Center channel comes out Left Surround, Right Surround goes to the subwoofer, etc. This has been a bug in VLC for years, and is still there.

This means users should ensure that VLC itself, the computer's operating system, and all update utilities are set to NOT automatically update VLC, or else future releases may overwrite the warp-capable version.

Its warping capability is hard-wired into the source code of VLC itself, and more specifically, only this particular VLC release (2.1.1, code-named Rincewind). VLCWarper does not use VLC's plug-in architecture. If it does, VLCWarper will too it simply warps VLC's video output, according to the assigned meshmap. If you're unsure about VLC, try installing an unmodified copy of version 2.1.1 from VideoLAN to see if it plays your fisheye movies satisfactorily on your computer.

When we process your order, we send you an email with a link to download the Windows or Mac version, along with a test movie and some standard meshmap files for common spherical mirror setups and truncated displays.

No more computer desktop splashing on the dome the audience should never need to see it!Īs a Zip file, VLCWarper is about 40MB in file size, a bit too big to send as an e-mail attachment. all while the projector is showing the movie to the theater. And we can call up Windows Explorer to cue up movies, trailers, whatever from the console. We can play/pause/scrub the movie, adjust the audio volume, etc. VLCWarper plays fullscreen on the secondary monitor/projector, but on the primary monitor, we drag VLC's playback control bar, and see a conventional desktop otherwise. (Actually, for Macs, it pretty much has to - see Caveats below.)īut we expect most Windows users will want to run VLCWarper in dual-monitor mode in their theaters. The displays on the two are often mirrored the projector on the secondary monitor channel simply shows the same thing as the computer's primary monitor. Most single-channel fulldome setups feature a laptop or desktop computer/monitor and a video projector.

We provide 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10 meshmaps for this purpose. You just need a meshmap with the appropriate aspect ratio for your system.

The diameter fills the display when fullscreen, and doesn't squash the full circle into the vertical height. Instead, they need to keep the shape of the circle intact, and offset the center so it cuts off the top. Naturally, you get all that versatility, since VLCWarper is VLC, with the capability of meshmap warping added in.įisheye lens projectors with truncated displays, such as those from The Elumenati, don't need mirror warping. It's been our experience that VLC handles some movies even better than their native applications. VLC's world-wide popularity is due in part to its ability to play almost any movie format you can throw at it - MPG, MOV, WMV, M2V, MP4, and lots more. Paul Bourke, developer of the meshmap/spherical mirror projection technique, has now incorporated this capability into the popular, open source cross-platform media player VLC.
