I installed VLC Player as my default video player in Ubuntu 8.04. When I click on the VLC icon to open it up, I get an error window which reads, "Unable to open'512'". If I look at the Messages in the VLC tool bar, it says, "No suitable access module for 512". Can anyone tell me what this means and how to correct it? I get the same window when I install a DVD.

How did you install vlc? "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

Thanks Jefro for stopping by. I used the Synaptic Package Manager to install it. It does play a DVD, but this bothersome error window pops up either by installing a DVD or just clicking on the VLC icon in Sound & Video. Any suggestions?

From another post. Ok, I found my problem. Using a How To instructions for making VLC my default player, it called out to make a change in the VLC properties command line to "vlc 512 %M", when it should have been "vlc %m". Once I made the change, the error message disappeared. Thanks anyway kimsland for your help & support and keen observation of my posts.
