Titus Andronicus writes "Years in the making, the major new release of VideoLAN's media player has better support for multicore processors, GPUs, and much, much more. From the announcement: '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.'"

    So terrible things will continuously happen, but at least the main characters will survive.

      Does this mean that is supports Quadroscopic Anaglyph mode? After all, if you have four eyes, Stereoscopic is never going to be enough...

      Do VLC now provide inn-sewer-ants against patent infringements?

    Yeah. Because a simple, light-weight, video player that plays damn-near anything you throw at it without the need for additional codecs and runs on every OS that matters is specifically for neckbearded, anime-fan virgins. I can't possibly imagine anyone else ever wanting to watch videos on their computer.

    Troll much?

    Who said anything about gender?

    The women anime fans have neckbeards too, in my experience.

    In my experience, absolutely not. Quit spreading untrue stereotypes, I mean it.

    Sure, I feel the urge to download this right now but I know I'll be downloading 2.0.1 tomorrow and then 2.0.2 the day after that so I might as well wait until all the "oops" releases get taken care of.

    Hey, I resemble that remark!

    They have improved the Mac version. I don't care about Windows.
