Latest version: 2.0.1

VLC reaches 2.0

VLC 2.0 "Twoflower" is a major new version of our popular media player.

With faster decoding on multi-core, GPU, and mobile hardware and the ability to open more formats, notably professional, HD and 10bits codecs, 2.0 is a major upgrade for VLC.
Twoflower has a new rendering pipeline for video, with higher quality subtitles, and new video filters to enhance your videos.
It supports many new devices and BluRay Discs (experimental).
Completely reworked Mac and Web interfaces and improvements in the other interfaces make VLC easier than ever to use.
Twoflower fixes several hundreds of bugs, in more than 7000 commits from 160 volunteers.

RE: VLC 2.0.0

nice, I just downloaded the 1.1.1 on another computer the other day. I really like the program, still wish they would make a 64bit though.

I use an older version of KMPlayer but when I tried this version of VLC under WTF, I was delighted as I found it more reliable and with better options than how it was when I had it installed on my system. I know I wont replace my KMP but who knows, I might install VLC on my real system.

If you want to try the real thing, try this version of KMP.:cool:

I have tried PotPlayer before and its just not there yet, in my opinion. When I tried it, I did to check if it had the options that KMP has, that are important to me and some are not/were not yet available but I ll try the player again sometime.

Bo

i know but it greatly improved and outperformed kmplayer its one of the best now do try it otherwise i like splayer too :) downloads subtitle automatically and uses less ram.

Though I'm a big fan of Windows Media Player 12, and it's probably my all time favourite Media Player.

I do like the Docked Playlist in VLC.

VLC 2 is unusable for me. the volume change has lag to it. it takes a second or 2 to take effect when decreasing/increasing volume.
posted in their forum and seems like some others have the same issue.
potplayer is rockin for now!
