VLC 1.0.0 Released
rift321 writes "VLC media player, which we all know for simplifying the playback of pretty much any codec out there, has finally released version 1.0.0. Here's a quick list of improvements: live recording, instant pausing and frame-by-frame support, finer speed controls, new HD codecs (AES3, Dolby Digital Plus, TrueHD, Blu-Ray Linear PCM, Real Video 3.0 and 4.0), new formats (Raw Dirac, M2TS) and major improvements in many formats, new Dirac encoder and MP3 fixed-point encoder, video scaling in fullscreen, RTSP Trickplay support, zipped file playback, customizable toolbars, easier encoding GUI in Qt interface, better integration in Gtk environments, MTP devices on Linux, and AirTunes streaming."
Has anyone fixed the volume control yet, or is that too trivial to bother with?
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
To borrow a phrase from Michael Jackson.. What have you done for me lately?
Pissed on your grave, you ungrateful whiner.
So much for being acquired by Google.
Thank god for Instant Pausing and Frame by Frame support. I needed more granularity over the location bar while watching porn videos. The old versions seem to be skipping to and from "keyframes" during seeking. It was very frustrating.
Yes, and you'd be joining the other person who paid royalties.
No. You're too worthless to get sued.
"Welcome to our world. We are the wasted youth. And we are the future too." Yes, I know these are stupid lyrics.

Ah, nope, that's Janet. Ms. Jackson if you're nasty.
You see? You see? Your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
Just give me a bro-job and we'll call it even.
... Which is why you did not install a Firefox spell-checker, I presume?

No. Due to confusion, the GUI has been eliminated.
You now have to type "vl -dev \/\device\opt\ifiea -drive \f3fsag -output fs/fb/nv -disp sc1 -sz 15.4 -fmt wdsc -play now"
At least...on my system you do. It's easy, though. Just change the command line to match your screen and video hardware, as well as whatever file or disk you want to play, and you'll have it working in no time.
Ok...now that my sarcasm is done....what the heck is wrong with a 1997 GUI? They were simple, quick, lightweight, and did what the heck you wanted without getting in your way.
Nowadays we have monstrosities like Windows Media Player 11, which is pretty much impossible to navigate.

If you pirate DVDs, you'll have a Nice Boat end.
There was originally 5. With Michael's death, they're down to 3. (Shortly after the plastic surgery binge started, Tito was stripped for parts.)
Redundancy is good And also good.
That you can't spell insinuate?
That's intirely possible.
W..w..W - Willy Waterloo washes Warren Wiggins who is washing Waldo Woo.
Because VLC only runs on linux and is the only video player for linux
You just don't get it. You have to use the right lossless format that's harmonically balanced with your speakers and cabling or you're just going to get trash out. With a mismatch, at best you'll get a limited sound stage and lack of presence especially when playing punk or thrash metal.
