[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1083014, member: 140470"] Have you tried installing Perian? It will allow Quicktime to play most of the popular video codecs used. Since your Apple remote is working then it does seem like it's a command execution linked to the play/pause button on the keyboard. I'm guessing Apple's other applications has some kind of command that tells your computer not to open up iTunes when it is press. I'm sure VLC can do the same thing but it has to be added to the programming. I don't think this feature can be easily turned off and on through normal means. At least I don't know how. The play/pause button does work in VLC but as you have noticed it opens up iTunes and operates both VLC and iTunes when you press the button again. VLC just needs to stop iTunes from opening up. I still think it's a job for the VLC Mac programmers. [/QUOTE]
