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.
