Justin,
 
I had a similar problem on my vaio too, but managed to sort it out. Updated video drivers and reinstall of directx seemed to fix it for me. You will only be able to watch the streams on the laptop display though, not a external monitor plugged into it.
 
I havent tried using SAP from our vnp with vlc, but if i get time i will check it later.
 
Regards,

Dear VLAN team.  I am trying to promote the use of VLC for some of our enterprise sales and wonder if somebody can answer a couple of questions:
 
1.    Our equipment can generate multicast video and associated SAP announcements to a specified SAP announcement address (standard is 224.2.127.254:9875).  I would like to use the VLC to "tune" to the various multicast channels we generate by using the SAP announcement.  It seems that there is some support for SAP in 0.60 but we simply have no idea how to set it up to work.  We also assume that the channel list that can be derived from the various SAP announcement we make would appear in the playlist.  
 
2.    I have passed your VLC client on to many users and everyone can make it work for files and multicast. Everyone except me!  My Sony Vaio can play regular MPEG file from my HD but whenever I try to tune it to see a Multicast I only get a grey video window!  Nothing I have tried in the past few months has overcome this. I have been through all the recent VLC version and all behave the same.  My partner, who has a Dell, has in parallel carried out the same precise steps next to me on his PC and his plays the multicast every time. Any ideas?
 
BTW. We love your product.  Keep it coming.
