    VLC media player 1.0.0 hits the web

    It took forever, but they finally hit 1.0

    VLC media player 1.0.0 hits the web

    Pretty much everyone should have this program as a backup. Amazing what it will do when Mediaplayer and Quicktime won't.

    But still download and installed.

    And there are skins for it if you have to have it looking all pretty. But the point is it a LIGHT WEIGHT do it all media player.

    More important is what it won't do: Get you infected from active content carried in those formats.

    Last month Microsoft's Quicktime DLL had a nasty vulnerability. Unless VLC used the MS codec, it should have been immune from that.

    How do you guys compare VLC to MPC? I've been using Media Player Classic for a while as my primary program, but I have had some trouble with it not handling having lots of videos open at once.

    Hopefully they added support for RM and MKV file formats. I know with 0.99 they had basic RMVB support (was still somewhat choppy on the get-go starting up a RMVB video as of 0.99b2).

    Not much difference, both have to be configured with the right codecs and hardware to play content properly. SD is not a big deal, however Blu-Ray w/True HD sound requires a bit of tweaking if you want it smooth. As I understand it this the the first VLC release that supports HD. I have used it and they have a lot of work to do.

    Re: VLC media player 1.0.0 hits the web

    Just as a quick update to this thread, there is a new version, 1.0.3 that is out with some bug fixes, especially if you are running Win7 or Vista.

    Download: VLC Media Player 1.0.3

    Fix video quality when resizing the video on Windows Vista and 7, due to
    regressions in most popular drivers

    I haven't encountered the so-called "regressions in most drivers". No lack of video quality when I go full screen.
