VLC Reaches 2.1

Posted by timothy on from the amazing-software-to-be-grateful-for dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With a new audio core, hardware decoding and encoding, port to mobile platforms, preparation for Ultra-HD video and a special care to support more formats, 2.1 is a major upgrade for VLC. The popular video player app also features support for 4K video as well as a partial Windows 8 and WinRT port for all those folks out there who don't know what else to do with their Surface RT."

    For Windows, try MPC-HC with the ffdshow codec bundle. For OS X, try MPlayerX. They are both smaller, faster, simpler, yet plays all the same formats.
