At last I was able to see how the interface to VLC looks like :-)

I opened up a movie file from my HD, it showed nothing, just a black
screen and the play thumb just moved towards completion, reached there and returned back to begining and moved towards completion again.

Am I doing something wrong?
(If its OK, can I send the mpg file in my next mail? its just 295K)

Awaiting your replies.
