In common the vlc player is started using:
Code: Select all
%ProgramFiles%\VideoLan\VLC\vlc.exe
A video clip from a link (my.lnk) from a link list may be started using:
You also may start a video (myVideo.mpg) within vlc with:
Code: Select all
%ProgramFiles%\VideoLan\VLC\vlc.exe "myVideo.mpg"

Edit: corrected the first example

I assume you'd like to open the video in VLC.
The "list of links" is where I lost you. Is it a text file with pathes to your videos? Such like
Code: Select all
C:\myvids\bla.mpg
C:\myvids\blubb.flv
.
.
.
And what means "open a video"? A certain or a random video?
