I'm a newbie to the forum but am a long time user of VLC on multiple platforms including Windows, Linux, and now Raspbian (Raspberry Pi.) What I'm about to describe was done on my Raspberry Pi but I think it's applicable to other OS's. (I believe the following can be done on Windows even though I did it on Raspbian.)
