[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 907657, member: 89124"] 7 and 9 are file system check functions to make sure the filesystem itself is healthy. PRAM is NVRam that stores parameter information - here's a link to what's stored there: [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1242]Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM[/url] AFAIK all intel Macs use EFI firmware and not the older Open Firmware used in the PPC based machines, so step 10 won't do anything for you. what resolution is your external display? Have you tried closing the lid on the laptop and using only the secondary display to play and see what happens? Were you able to play the video before full screen on the secondary display with the laptop open? Also - take a look here: [url=http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=64491]The VideoLAN Forums • View topic - 13" MacBook Pro, Snow Leopard and VLC 1.0.1[/url] and see if that's similar to what you're seeing with VLC...
