Well, I use VLC religiously as my video player, but it just stopped opening. I tried reinstalling and everything.... I double-click the icon, nothing. Or, I click the icon on the dock, nothing. Just won't seem to open. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it? Because I really dislike not having a playlist with my Quicktime, and since I'm watching AVI files, they won't work in iTunes (even though people say they should since I have the codec, they just don't go into there). Thanks
