--- Comment #8 from Eric Matteson ericmatteson2001@yahoo.com --- vlc is played in wine-1.2 in Fedora 7.i386 or fedora 13.i686 inside a virtual box virtual machine running on a 64-bit host Linux. A 64-bit host Linux is used to access hardware including hard drives greater than 64 gigabytes. 32-bit Linux is installed in a virtual machine. The virtual hard disk is less than 64 gigabytes. 1024 megabytes of RAM is reccomended for virtual machines. When the wine version number is greater than 1.3.4 then the vlc media player fails. Wine always has to run in 32-bit Linux or at least have 32-bit dependency libraries. The virtual machine has 32 bit Linux inside of it to provide 32 bits for wine. 32-bit Linux inside a virtual machine is considered the easiest way to provide a 32-bit environment for wine to run in on a modern computer.
