VideoLan 0.8.6a

03 January 2007 - 22:07

VideoLAN is an excellent multimedia player with it's own plugins for playing different formats, so it doesn't need any codecs to be installed. It works great for previewing partially downloaded files too as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.

Changes between 0.8.6 and 0.8.6a:

CDDA / VCDX plugins:
* Security updates (VideoLAN-SA-0701)
Mac OS X Interface:
* Fullscreen controller improvements

Great news!
Where's that changelog from though?

Please tell me that they finally have functioning fullscreen controls like MPC because I wanna switch back. MPC's stability with multiple files is pretty weak IMO . Going to evaluate once more.

Thanks

Thanks.

Installed this 3 days ago to try it out and I cannot believe what I have been missing :P

i like that theme in the screenshot, they should make that the default theme as its alot better than the current default

(i have that theme loaded had to set alot of stuff up to get that theme to stay as the selected one)

I installed vlc on my sis' mac over the holidays... I personally like the mac default interface. Simple yet still looks nice.

This is my favorite media player for sure, I just wish Vista support would get ironed out a little better.

The Skin thats showed on the screenshot is called Askin, Second one here . Follow the instructions on the right unless you already know how to install a skin.

best video player EVER

Why can't Microsoft take a hint from VLAN's codec handling?!?!?!

Next time could you put the name of which download link you are directly linking to in the post? They make like 25 flavours.

COOL skin and great player. I can not live without VLC and Media Player Classic
