Suddenly vlc opens a giant oversized direct3d output window that's completely choppy on my laptop, then behind the window is the same video playing in the interface, also choppy, both streams 1920x1080. Nevermind how archaic-looking, I can't imagine anyone making use of this.
Of the alleged fixes, I've tried deleting my entire appdata directory which did nothing except lose all my prefs, i tried hitting "w" (wallpaper mode) twice, I tried resetting prefs in the menu, I tried changing to Direct2D which freezes the Direct3D output window so you can't close it at all. The only thing that actually works with two video streams is to right click on the vid and go to video->video track->disable, then click video->video track->track 1. That gets rid of the D3D window. But who wants to do this every time? There must be some way to tell VLC when a video has 2 streams to only play 1 stream.
