Sorry, but I hated the VLC player. Chroma is a far better Mac media player imo.

What more can you ask for? It supports a lot of formats and the price is FREE!!!!!

interesting to find out, why it took so long to hit 1.0.

vlc has always been "stable" ever since i started using it...

Handbrake is great, but sloooooow for h.264.

Features:

New HD codecs (AES3, Dolby Digital Plus, TrueHD, Blu-Ray Linear PCM, Real Video 3.0 and 4.0,

I wonder if this means with VLC we can now watch Blu-ray on our mac's if we have installed an aftermarket blu-ray drive.

New HD codecs (AES3, Dolby Digital Plus, TrueHD, Blu-Ray Linear PCM, Real Video 3.0 and 4.0,

I wonder if we can watch blu ray movies if we have a blu-ray drive on our mac's? (aftermarket drives of course)

:-P

No Tiger support, Tiger stuck at 0.9.9a. No wonder I couldn't run those release candidates.

Bu t music stops and starts...
At 2nd run no problem, maybe a buffer is used to store the flow..

I hope they will solve this issue asap.

It also allows you to watch DVDs without those pesky region coding

Are you sure about this? On late 2008 and onward MacBook Pros this isn't possible. Even with VLC.

Eeek! After updating to VLC 1.0 my videos only play sound and no video window appears! I'm on Leopard, so it should work. WTF?

I/ve given up on VLC for the most part. I've had the sound skip problem on audio files since the 0.9 series of releases. This seems to be any audio file, mp3, flac and ape, equal opportunity bug! The delay is not very long, less than a second, but VERY annoying as it occurs regularly at intervals of 10-15 seconds. This is unacceptable for listening to music, and even makes listening to audiobooks annoying. I now use Cog for audio (and with equalizer controls due in the next release, it is just about perfect).

I also have the disappearing video window problem in Leopard. In fact, I've always thought of this as a real weakness, having separate windows for the controls and the video. You can get around this by starting VLC in full screen mode, except that there are lots of times that I don't want to devote my entire computer to playing video. The only time I use it now is to play VTS folders ripped from DVDs, it saves me the extra work of burning to a disc so that they can be recognized by the DVD player. I now just install Perian and use Movist for playback (which includes the playlist function missing in quicktime player and also includes the audio video controls which have been removed from quicktime player in Snow Leopard. Score!).

As far as regional coded DVDs are concerned, I rip the video from the DVD and save it either as an avi file or simply copy out the VTS folder and then play in VLC. I've had no problem playing these on my 13 inch MBP with VLC (except for the limitations noted above).
