Lack of Manpower May Kill VLC For Mac

plasmacutter writes "The Video Lan dev team has recently come forward with a notice that the number of active developers for the project's MacOS X releases has dropped to zero, prompting a halt in the release schedule. There is now a disturbing possibility that support for Mac will be dropped as of 1.1.0. As the most versatile and user-friendly solution for bridging the video compatibility gap between OS X and windows, this will be a terrible loss for the Mac community. There is still hope, however, if the right volunteers come forward."

I'm a mac user and I find no reason to use VLC as quicktime can handle everything (I have Perian installed). The current VLC version for mac is not working fine, so I better not use it anyway.

Who cares

VLC Will just become another reason for you to dual boot windows. You already need to if you play games, why not if you watch movies? I just run windows on desktops through. I'm neither a beret wearing graphic designer nor a homosexual.

Blasphemer! Apple's player is preventing the rogue, faithless DVDs from defiling the sacrosanctity of your Mac which is blessed by Steve personally. But Steve's mercy is great and He shall forgive and bless your family you if you repent and purchase the indulgence^W^W a new Mac..
