#2In very sad news they've removed the Shoutcast integration inside of VLC. This was one of the great 'hidden' features of VLC-you could view essentially any type of video or audio through a very slick integrated menu.
Darn AOL for strong arming them into removing the feature.

#3VLC 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!

#5The 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!

I promise that you will have a surprise quite soon :D
And the lua extension framework already let's you get it back.

From my reading, it seems that the complaint is that ATI doesn't support hardware video decoding properly.

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/cannot to communicate. Adobe uses it, we cannot yet. I believe this will be fixed in the future.

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".

#10I've used VLC player for a while, for playing both DVDs and downloaded videos. It's a very versatile package.
It does not have the sound bug that causes Windows Media Player(with codec) to make the background loud, and the main track soft.
