Export your Vine videos to Giphy
Twitter announced last week that it plans to shut down its "six seconds or less" video service Vine in the coming months.
The company is going through financial turmoil currently, and as part of the restructuring of Twitter, it made the decision to put Vine to rest.
Twitter confirmed that it won't delete any Vines -- just yet -- that users of the service have created, and that users will be able to access and download their Vines.
You’ll be able to access and download your Vines. We’ll be keeping the website online because we think it’s important to still be able to watch all the incredible Vines that have been made.
While you can download all your Vines directly to one of your devices, you may prefer them to remain accessible online. That's the case on the Vine website for the foreseeable future, but Twitter will pull the plug on Vine eventually.
Giphy, the popular animated gif service, has created an online tool that you can use to export all your Vine videos (Vines) to the service.
The process requires a Giphy account which you can create for free. All that is left to do afterwards is to paste the Vine profile URL on the Giphy "loves" Vine website, and hit the go and import buttons.
Giphy downloads all Vines of the profile first to turn them into animated gifs afterwards. The process may take a while depending on the number of Vines uploaded to the selected Vine account.
Please note that you are allowed to only export one Vine account for each Giphy account. This means that it is not suitable for backing up videos that you are not the creator of.
All created animated gifs are added to your library on Giphy from where you can access them. Giphy links to the original Vine and provides an option to download the source video under the "advanced tab on the website.
Why not make use of the mplayer.conf?
Huh, I have never even seen this “font cache” pane; videos play at once for me, using VLC & XP SP3.
Mike, in theory this should have only been displayed once to you, at the very first video that you played with VLC. The time this window is displayed depends largely on the number of fonts in your font directory.
huh, I lucked out for a change?? Amazing!!
Apparently VLC keeps this info through version updates, but I didn’t see this message after a fresh OS install about 8 weeks ago, & a new VLC.
yes, yes, i have the same problem. sometimes, VLC crashes when it is playing .mov file.
Error:
Buidling font Cache pop-up
Solution:
Open VLC player.
On Menu Bar:
Tools
Preferences
(at bottom – left side)
Show settings — ALL
Open: Video
Click: Subtitles/OSD (This is now highlited, not opened)
Text rendering module – change this to “Dummy font renderer function”

Re-open – done.
Progam will no longer look outside self for fonts

Great tip, thanks a lot Kishore.
@Kishore, I’ll try your tips, but does this mean it will no longer show subtitles either?
I do use subtitles, but the fontcache dialog box pops up (almost) everytime I play a file.
Could this be related to the fonts I have installed? Or if I add/remove fonts to my system?
I’ll try to do a fresh install also, if your tips does no work. I’ll post back here later…
/thanks

@ Javier, The trick i posted will show up subtitles too. If not,
@ Javier, The trick i posted will show up subtitles too. If not,Dont worry, VLC is currently sorting out this issue and the next version will be out soon.
No probs @ Martin !! Its my pleasure
Try running LC with administrator privileges. That seemed to fix it for me
I am using SMplayer 0.8.6 (64-bit) (Portable Edition) on Windows 7 x64. Even with the -nofontconfig parameter in place SMplayer still scans the fonts. Also, I have enabled normal subtitles and it is still scanning fonts before playing a video. Also, it does this every time the player opens a video after a system restart (only the fist video played).
Does that mean that only instrumental versions of songs will be available for non-paying users?
