Can't install VLC 0.8
Authored by: avi4now on Oct 26, '04 05:24:18PM

I really want to try this out, but I'm having trouble installing the 0.8test version. I downloaded the DMG file from videolan.org twice with two different browsers, no dice. OS X gives me an error dialog: Warning: The following disk images failed to mount. Reason: no mountable file systems.

Can anyone help me out on how to get a good copy of this software?

Sounds like you have stuffit expander set to mount disk images. It does not work with many disk images. You could try to upgrade your Stuffit Expander to a new version, or disable the mount disk images option.<br>

The download server has been down for a couple of hours this week.

I got it! Thanks for the suggestions. I looked at the files that I downloaded and I saw that they were too small - the downloads didn't come in completely. I'm not sure why Safari didn't tell me though - that's pretty annoying.

That said, this is an awesome hint! I'm loving it - no more stringing a long cable from our stereo to the laptop. I think I need to fine-tune the audio "delay" a bit, but that's no problem. Sweet! Thanks!
