The Mac OS X version is 64 bit, which means it'll work with 64-bit HandBrake. Previously you had to use an odd prerelease build. This is what I was waiting for!
cool! but still no hardware acceleration for OpenCL it looks like.
No disrespect to VLC but I just did a side by side comparison with MPC HC and VLC player and the MPC HC player looked much more clear - http://i.imgur.com/Mc2oS.jpg . Any reason behind this?
I use both VLC and MPC-HC on my machines. On the lower end computers I've noticed a large performance difference between the two: MPC-HC can crank out 720P on my 5year old laptops without hiccup, but VLC stutters all over the place. I've heard some recommendations on how to configure VLC to be more responsive, but the fact remains MPC-HC performs better "out-of-the-box" than VLC. I still keep VLC around for anything…

Do you have any of the sharpening shaders turned on in MPC? I'm not sure VLC has anything like that yet.
And some nVidia GPUs have a wrong colourspace output, which makes the colour to be faded...

I've noticed a difference in quality also. I compared mplayer and vlc, mplayer looked definitely better.
Here MPC-HC, uses shaders and special renderers, technologies that VLC doesn't use on Windows.
But Mplayer and VLC use the same technologies, same decoders, and same output modules technology (xv, x11 and plain d3d)
Does anyone have links to who I should talk to to volunteer as an Intel gfx hw tester? Netflix+Silverlight+Win7 is using GPU acceleration for video on my netbook, it would be great to have VLC take advantage of the same.
I 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).
Not precisely an answer to your question, but it looks like there's a third-party library working on support for the Broadcom Crystal HD, which currently builds as a xine plugin: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/archvdr/browser/branches/li...
Earlier quoted context omitted.
(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).
Well, yes. First, remember that VLC is not a media player. It is a framework, like GStreamer, QT or DS. It works in the same way, with modules/plug-ins/objects that are loaded when needed. For the matter of GPU/DSP decoding, you have two choices: either you do a codec module abstracted and independent from the rest of the modules or you plug a special codec module to a special renderer module (and violates your clean…
I hope ATI will contact you to overcome the limitation you encountered.
By the way, Will the hardware acceleration work the Portable Version (Made by Portable Apps)?
Moreover, someone mentioned a workaround to enable the Hardware Acceleration if I have SSE 4.1 enabled CPU. Could you say how?

Well, simply because Broadcom doesn't use the standard APIs, which means one need to do a special plugin for it.
