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 what is VideoLAN anyway? by Ark42 · 2012-02-18 14:45 · Score: 0, Troll

So what is VideoLAN anyway? Seems like something to stream video, over a LAN, based on the name at least?
Doesn't DLNA pretty much obsolete that? DLNA seems to be built into all my devices (tv, xbox, squeezebox) and Windows by default now, and works just fine.
I'm confused as to what this software is for, and why I should care about it.
