No x64 Windows builds eh? Not that it really matters I guess.

OS X VLC totally looks great now. Better than Windows!

By the way, the Mac UI defaults to black window frames. What I'm using is the 'bright' option for the UI.

Which version should I use if my PC has an AMD64 CPU and I'm using 7 x64?

The Windows 32-bit build for now. The 64-bit build should be out soon enough.

The windows version :p

32-bit binaries work exactly the same on 64-bit CPUs as they do on 32-bit.CPUs.

According to the change log yes. Should be out by the time 2.0 goes final at the latest.

They should really make the "Bright" option the default look on Macs; I thought "Dark" was rather ugly. Shame you can't have the main window as just the playback controls.

Nice, DVB-S scanning support, HTTP live streaming, ffmpeg-mt for multi-core decoding and basic blu-ray support \o/

Not to mention HTCPCP (HTTP Coffee Pot Control Protocol)! :rofl:

On Windows VLC is only good for things Media Player Classic Home Cinema can't play. For some reason the video quality in MPCHC is still horrible on most videos, especially when compared to MPC-HC with Haali (or MadVR).
