DIRECTORIES
-----------
  The following directories are used by the morphos-version
  ---------------------------------------------------------
  PROGDIR:home/.vlc      - VLC home
  PROGDIR:home/.dvdcss   - libdvdcss home
  PROGDIR:home/.dvdnav   - libdvdnav home
  PROGDIR:home/.freetype - libfreetype home

  DVD key files
  -------------
  PROGDIR:home/.dvdcss/<title><key>

  DVD maps files
  --------------
  PROGDIR:home/.dvdnav/<title>.map

  Font file
  ---------
  PROGDIR:home/.freetype/font.ttf

  Note: You can copy any .tff-font here. Just rename it to "font.ttf" or edit vlcrc.


HINTS
-----
  The audio volume is set to 1/4 of max after the start of VLC
  ------------------------------------------------------------
  Start VLC with "--volume 1024" or, to make it permanent, edit
  home/.vlc/vlcrc and set "volume=1024". (Remove the # at linestart).
  Now you should have a volume of 100% at each start.

  Quit
  ----
  If no windows is open (no vout), do NOT immediately quit VLC by pressing CTRL-C.
  Instead try to enter "quit" in the console and press <return> 1-2 times.
  If this does not return to command prompt, press CTRL-C.

  It does fully quit
  ------------------
  Press <return> in the shell, 1-2 times.


LIMITS
------
  SDL
  ---
  Keyboard events are not triggered. I think some thread thing. (NEED REBOOT)

  Network overall
  ---------------
  Not fully ported yet, some stuff may work, or not.
