Question

Where I can change settings to watch movie in black and white in VLC ?

if this feature is available on any other player , please let me know .

Answer 1

In VLC open Effects and Filters (Ctrl+E), on the Video effects tab, Basic section: slide down the saturation.

Answer 2

In the latest version of VLC (1.0.3), do the following:

1. Open the video file/DVD
2. Goto Tools > Effects and Filters (Ctrl + E)
3. Goto the Video Effects tab, then Basic.
4. Check the Image adjust box.
5. Drag the Saturation slider fully to the left.

You should then have fully black & white (well, actually grayscale) video.
