What is the advantage of using OpenGL? Why would it make things faster?– Ciro Santilli OurBigBook.comApr 3, 2016 at 8:32

1) Open VLC media player.
2) Click on Tools and select Preferences… .
3) mark "All" under "Show settings" in the bottom left corner
4) Expand Video and click on Output modules. Note that DON’T expand Output modules, just click on it.
5) Set Video output module to “OpenGL” or another setting you may want
Note: These steps are for V1.0.6 (Goldeneye) but I'm sure they'll be similar for other versions as well.

Guess I just like the old school look. I just noticed that if you don't select "All" under show settings that you can just click video and change the setting for the "Output" field.– BryanMar 22, 2011 at 20:33

OpenGL output is not yet available in the Debian/Ubuntu packages.
