The latest vlc upgrade separates the video window from the controller which I can't stand.
I have gone thru all the gui preferences and cannot get the video embedded inside the controller using the classic look which I prefer.
Anyone have a solution ?

Seems that this was deliberate. Take a look at http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&p=165045.

VLC has really been irritating me lately. First they decide to give it 27 dependancies in 0.9.2 (lolwtf), then they intentionally separate the output with 0.9.4. What the heck are they doing?

Don't forget the switch from wxWidgets to Qt.
The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck, is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

But if they tell you that I've lost my mind, maybe it's not gone just a little hard to find...

Yeah, but at least Janus worked properly.

Thanks for the link. The patch does fix the issue for me. You can just build it yourself with this PKGBUILD for now (I saved the patch as qt4-embed.diff):
