Deleting videos In a short period of time, I downloaded about 2TB of videos. I had nothing better to do with my life than stuff my face with viagra and watch porn all day. Now that my 2 brain cells are kicking in and overtook the battle with the big nasty thingie down below, I realize I have lots and lots of junky videos that I want to eliminate. The problem is that most folders generally contain stuff I want to save and other stuff I want to send to outer space. So, I can't just delete a folder. I use VLC for viewing. However, there's no way that I know of to mark a video for deletion in VLC. Am I missing something? I have videos in all different formats - VLC is the only viewer that I seem to be able to view any format. I use a mac if that's relevant. Therefore, I can't think of an easy way to mark videos I wanna delete. Ideas pleeeeze. Thanks! | |

I have Windows 7, but also use VLC. All I ever have to do is go into my folders and delete each file separately. It may be that Mac is different. Warning Will Robinson | |

Same thing in a Mac. Perhaps I didn't explain correctly. The process would be to choose the file I want to delete from checking the file name in VLC and then going to the OS [finder] to delete the file. This could take hours and hours. I was hoping there was some way the file could be deleted directly from VLC. | |

Mac -  Windows provides a viewer as a part of Windows Explorer. One is able to see the video in a small window and then if you didn't want it hit CTL-Delete to remove it from the hard drive. I did a quick see regarding VLC and nowhere could I find a delete function. Which is somewhat odd inasmuch a lot of software that opens User files will provide a delete function. Mac? Meh....

Actually through the Finder in Mac (their version of Windows Explorer) you can preview a file with the Quick Look feature. Just hit space bar, ⌘ + Y, or click the eye icon at the top, and you have basic controls too. You can trash a file with ⌘/command + delete (the larger delete key that is normally labeled "Backspace" on non-Mac keyboards). The Cover Flow view option also also allows previews, but with less control, and I find it a waste of window space when navigating through larger folders. I prefer icon view when normally navigating, and then list view when organizing/downsizing folders as it lets you easily compare file sizes. I think the lack of a delete or trash function through VLC is because of a concern that you might easily lose too many files this way, rather than the somewhat more inconvenient process through the Finder. Though trashing a file doesn't actually delete it, it does take it one step closer to being deleted (minus copies on backup drives and through Time Machine, of course). I think the inconvenience of making it slightly harder to delete files is worth it over losing files in the process of more efficiently organizing a hard drive. Though VLC is a decent all around video player with lots of controls (except deleting a file  ) I prefer QuickTime 10 for MP4s for its simplicity. I don't care much for playlists and more windows than necessary, so a simple window of just the video itself is how I like to watch things. Either way Mac is not really the preferred OS for WMVs, though they can certainly reign in the massive video files now being offered by so many sites with little loss in quality. My advice, jook, is patience and perseverance in organizing. If you want to keep what you actually like then it will take some time. And it may help to use Apple's labeling system to give files different colors in the Finder, which I find handy for differentiating content within a model's or site's folder, or just the gray color for files that need to be trashed or moved. Again, the list view helps to compare file size and weed out duplicates--unless you accidentally downloaded the same file in more than one resolution, then it'll get irritating. Good luck!

Careful, or you might not get your hard drive back, at least for a while.  (Just to reiterate.) You can still preview files in Finder, with less precise control than a video program but it beats opening every single file. I also find that mastering Apple's keyboard shortcuts can help make organizing and browsing more efficient--not that I'm trying to learn how to use my computer with only one hand.   That's one of the small dislikes I have with VLC; it doesn't allow you to close a video window from full screen (QuickTime does), plus its autoplay function acts too unpredictably for my tastes. These two issues definitely slow me down when organizing anything with WMVs. It does have an insane wealth of preferences that I only understand a fraction of and have yet to see in any other video program (go to VLC < Preferences... < click the "Show All" button on the bottom left, if you're curious).

I don't know if there's any difference between closing a window or killing the program altogether, but here's my suggestion that just stops the program, whether in full screen mode or not. The default hotkey setting is 'ctrl+q'. You can customize that by going to Preferences (Simple mode)>Click on Hotkey at the bottom left, then scroll down to Quit. Click on the window showing 'ctrl+q' and a window will popup, asking you to set the new key. I have mine set to 'q' by itself but you can use any key or set of keys not already in use. If you try to use something already in use, you'll get a prompt for that as well. Once done, click 'Save', close VLC and the new setting will be available the next time you run it. Sarcasm is a body's natural defense against stupidity. | |

I don't have anything better to offer than what the others have said except to say that this is a good warning to all those people that download large amounts of content without first picking and choosing to limit the amount of content you have to delete. I have a 2TB drive full of porn and I need to get in there to do some clean up because the drive is full and I know that there is stuff on it that I will never watch again. that and stuff that is so identical to another scene that it's not worth having two of the same. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

pat362, I still say it's better to have too much material than to have too little. ---
Yeah, I always just quit the whole damn thing anyway, stupid as it is. You know, it's even these little things that piss me off sometimes. "Fucking thing sucks!"  Once again, I question whether you really have that much rage compared to me.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

When I'm trying to download as much as I can within 30 days so I can save on membership fees, it's kind of difficult to be overly choosy. Then again, half of what I download is boring or repetitious or crap or all of the above. One day when I have nothing better to do with my life, I'll go through everything. | |

Good luck my friend, just don't try and do it in one day - One Folder at a Time. If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee. If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat! | |
