Is there a way to add new visualizations to VLC?

The six included are OK but something new would be nice.

I've not used it myself, but you could look at ProjectM, which apparently works with VLC.

ProjectM is an open-source alternative to MilkDrop and uses the same presets. You can find more presets at the Winamp forums.

(I use the Winamp AVS presets with Foobar2000 on my Windows HTPC)

One of the six items in my visualization menu are ProjectM. – Nifle Oct 15 '11 at 22:05

@Nifle: Ah okay. Well it looks like you should be able to use Milkdrop presets with that. You may be able to find new ones in the forum at the link in my answer. – paradroid Oct 15 '11 at 22:09
Milkdrop presets ?? If you have any information on how to access that from within VLC please update your answer (I don't like to have useful information in the comments) (please ping me with another @Nifle if you do) – Nifle Oct 15 '11 at 22:18
@Nifle: This forum seems to be a good starting point for looking for new presets: forums.winamp.com/forumdisplay.php?forumid=81 I don't even know what OS you are using to give you detailed instructions. Just search your system for the location of *.milk files, and add your new ones. I use AVS presets myself, so I can't really help any further. – paradroid Oct 15 '11 at 22:38
Good point with the OS, adding correct tag. – Nifle Oct 15 '11 at 22:43
