But I am guessing it doesn't hurt either ;-) I hope you won't object, I edited my post above to include a link to the donations page.
Money is used for buying hardware, going to conferences, codec bounties and organizing a big multimedia conference. But if you have one million or two, I got great ideas :D

Would there be a way to implement libVLC as a replacement for Quick Look in Mavericks and Yosemite? That would be fantastic! Right now (as you may know) Apple depreciated Quick Look and it no longer works with far too many video formats even if one has the old version of QuickTime installed with Perian.
Actually I did that years ago with a friend. It's easy to revive.
VLC is awesome, but it's sorely lacking one feature on OS X -- which is the ability to open multiple movies at once. I surely hope this is something they'll ad at some point!
How come there's no 64-bit version yet? Wouldn't that improve performance for something like video-decoding? Also, it's disappointing to see there's still no native (and automatic) subtitle-seeking feature.

The 64-bit Windows binary is getting deployed on the mirror right now. > Wouldn't that improve performance for something like video-decoding? 64-bit is a tradeoff for video, less CPU usage, but more memory pressure, so the improvements are usually limited... It's more important to have good hardware acceleration, than 64bits. > Also, it's disappointing to see there's still no…
I've always loved VLC, but these days I typically stream my media using Plex. Is there a good reason to use VLC now that I'm bought into Plex?
Plex/xbmc is a more of a home entertainment system. Vlc is merely a media player (that is incredibly awesome at what it does, thus the reputation).
I use xbmc on my TV in the front room because it tracks where I am in a series and which movies I've seen. I use vlc on my computer to watch a one off documentary or something.
I think you could build a plex or xbmc like system using vlc but to compare them I think is comparing apples to oranges.
For what its worth I stick to XBMC when I don't need a web interface. Plex isn't entirely Foss, xbmc is.
I would really like to ditch iTunes, but iTunes is just nicer and easier to manage.
Apart from that... I love you VLC :)
Edit: What The F*???!! I just googled out of curiosity for screenshots of the windows version: http://www.neowin.net/news/new-vlc-windows-8-screenshots-sho...
When is this going to come to OS X?
So, it's the first time we do a coordinated release of VLC. We're doing it for desktop (Linux, Windows, OS X) and mobile ports (Android, Windows Phone, Windows RT, iOS) but also for Android TV. It's been quite difficult, but we're finishing the work we've started 2 years ago to move to mobile: the code base is now ready for that, without hacks. So, a lot of the cooler stuff for mobile are going to happen for 3.0.0 th…

Quick Look's media support is pretty sparse, but that's due to its use of Quicktime X for most video and audio. QL supports plugins from third parties though so... yes. You don't need to replace QL, just build a plugin for it.
Do you guys have a link to the VLC app on the iOS App Store? I ask because there are so many clones it is very hard to find it. On a related note. Is there anything you can do (trademark, etc.) about getting the scammy clones off of the store?

It's not very convenient, but you can use `open -n /Applications/VLC.app` to open a new instance.
