VLC 2.0 TwoFlower

vlc-2.0-win7.jpg


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.

Tried it ...

though i have tried and uninstalled vlc 1.1 before

this is the first time i used it for a longer period

not much impressed ...

mpc with klcodec pack is better imho

[-]

  • lacks dolby surround (has the option but doesnt work AFAI tried it...doesnt seperate the voice to center channel)
  • no volume mixer ....ffdshow is damn good
  • no flexible zoom.... as in mpc use can use numpad keys
  • no options of using advanced renders like madvr and LAV(didnt find any diff though against dxva,ffdshow)

[+]

  • great streaming ability....i think this must the reason vlc is popular

    (not much use to me...thanks to 2.5gb monthly quota)
  • playing rar files

    again extracting takes just few secs...

    but i heard somewhere that the direct links(from hosts like mediafire,rapidshare etc) are streamable too

    ...dont know if its true

    Guys any other + points compared to mpc
 
Only the look for Mac seems awesome.

For windows it nothing new.

I kinda don't like the 'seek' bar in VLC - I don't find that smooth.

I'll continue with KLM (mpc).
 
Ok it is better than it's previous version,but not the best.

I am using MPC for almost 2 years now and pretty much satisfied with it.
