I was thinking the EXACT same thing that Ryan posted.
I have always been unsure of whether or not I was the only one who had problems with VLC crashing all the time. I gave up on VLC over a year ago but I guess I will try this new one out. I always liked VLC and wished it would work but unfortunately I never was able top get VLC to be stable for me

“i’m just hoping that this new version won’t start crashing randomly halfway through a playlist like the old one did”

For regular playback in windows CCCP+MPC still beats VLC hands down (especially softsubs and ordered chapters), but at least VLC are starting to pull themselves out of the dark ages of .srt subs.

Good old plain MediaPlayer Classic and ffdshow and you won’t need those buggy codec packs…
I use VLC on the Mac and MPC+ffdshow on Windows
Let’s see if this new VLC version os more user friendly that the old one…

Damn! No more wxWidgets! It was a nice alternative to those who hate skins and prefer good ole’ native GUI. This one looks a lot worse. I will need to save the older installer at a few places so that it won’t be lost :(

i love vlc (and yes, i love mpc + cccp too). it’s nice to finally see a new major release. i’m just hoping that this new version won’t start crashing randomly halfway through a playlist like the old one did (seriously, what was with that).

What about just regular WMP with
http://www.cccp-project.net/ installed?

I’ve yet to find any video that cccp couldn’t decode…

I’m not sure how old my last version of vlc was,
but I like in the new version that slowing down a video
slows down the audio also. (and speeding up)

The playlist thing isn’t working for me in the new version…

Yeah, and in chrome too. They screwed up their css I guess :P Woah! But in chrome it moves the panel over… that’s too cool.

You can’t see the right hand side because it’s 100 columns wide and there’s room for 57 columns :-)

Although not a hack VLC is a pretty cool media player (although Media Player Classic and the XVID codec work much better on my P3 laptop with tv-out). Of course VLC would never have been as good without the fine work from the ffmpeg library people.

p.s. Anyone know why in Firefox I can’t see the right hand side of this input box?
