<DIV><FONT size=4>Hello:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>My System: Windows XP Professional, on IBM
Legacy 1.2 Ghz processor, 750 MB RAM, 40GB hard drive, CD-Read Drive, DVD
Read/Burn drive, on-board sound.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Four questions about VLC / VLC Media Player which do not
appear to be addressed by the FAQ's or the Wiki:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>1. Accessibility (To Legally Blind Persons)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Does the VLC / VLC Media Player "adapt" to the user's settings
-- I'm using the High Contrast (white characters on black background)
Accessibility Option.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Software that uses black characters on a white background are
useless to me given the way my vision is -- the glare of the white background
causes the characters to "disappear" into the background.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>2. Extracting Portions Of DVD Video</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Can I extract or record to a file portions of a DVD playing in
the computer's DVD drive for use in editing with a video editor?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>3. "Capturing" On-Screen Animations</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Can I use VLC / VLC Media Player to "capture" to a file
on-screen animations while running my moving 3-D animation applications?
(I use Visual C++ 5.0 to program custom 3-D animations "from the
ground-up") I intend to then incorporate these file to which the moving
animations are "captured" into my finished videos using a video
editor.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>4. Other Software</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>If VLC / VLC Media Player cannot meet all of the above
criteria, can you inform me about any other free software that can 1) adapt
itself to High Contrast settings; 2) "capture" to a file portions of video
from a DVD playing in the computer's DVD drive; and 3) "capture" from the screen
moving 3-D animations to a file?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Thank you in advance for your help.</FONT></DIV>
