I'm seriously impressed with how far VLC has come in the span of a few years. Crud files go in, perfection comes out. I wish more software was this robust.

#12You really should use Sparkle for the OS X release. VLC is one of the few apps that doesn't use it and the built in updating mechanism in VLC never works anyway.

#13VLC was my preferred player in Windows, and still remains my default in OS X. There is nary a format which the orange pylon cannot handle. Thanks to the VLC and FFMPEG guys for all the hard work!
Last I checked something with their .flv support was bad. It might have been the splitter or something. With a lot of .flv's you couldn't seek to anywhere in the file.

#14big thank you to the VLC team for keeping this great free video player going!

#15I don't see added support for the Broadcom HD decoder that Asus is shipping in some of their newer model Eee PCs (1005PR). Anyone know if there plans to add this? It would really help out HD decoding on the low-end platforms (esp since the cards aren't integrated, so they can be bought as add-ons as long as your low-end machine has a slot).

#16I'm still waiting for an "auto-search subtitle" feature like the one in Media Player Classic.

#17Wondering what the technical problems with the ATI drivers were.
Well, those are pretty simple. For many reasons (that are debatable, but maybe this isn't the right place?), VLC can decode on the GPU and then gets the data back from the GPU to filter/restream/reencode to finally display it. Even if this isn't the fastest way, there are good reasons for it (I can explain if needed...) On ATI drivers, the data back path is slow, and you need a special GUID that ATI doesn't want/cann…
(I can explain if needed...)
I'd personally be very interested in hearing some details about this, if you have a few moments to write something up (or even paste a few links to some mailing list posts or the like, somewhere that I can do some reading).

VLC uses Sparkle for updates now. I think it was just added in 1.1.0.

Um, this is exactly the right place.

#20Earlier quoted context omitted.
From my reading, it seems that the complaint is that ATI doesn't support hardware video decoding properly.
No, it is doing it fine. The irony is that if you have an Intel SSE4.1 chip, you can use a special trick to work-around this "bug".
Where's the "irony" in that? Or did you perhaps mean something else?
