This is awesome.

Wonder how Win 7 support is. I tried the latest version a month or two ago I think and some stuff didn't work (fullscreen, for example). Might not have been a VLC issue, though, maybe it was something related to my video drivers.

Full screen always worked with me in Win7 even in wall mode with 2 screens. This version is no different, works fine. :thumbsup:

Weird, maybe it was something else with my system then. I downloaded 1.0.0 and fullscreen does seem to work now.

Probably as long as gmail was in beta (which has been removed as of today also!)

Better the relatively stable app that is in beta forever than the app that has jumped three full number versions and still has more bugs than an ant farm.

I love VLC probably one of the first things I put on a new install.

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

Why is it having such a problem moving to different to locations in an MPG file? Ugh, looks like I'm going back to 0.8.6.

 

[Sam25]

Nice!

Yup 2, 3, 6, however man you have. Check out wall video filter.

VLC still sucks playing back 1080p H264 mkv's, so no-go for me.

Form my experience, never used 1.0, but Media Player Classic HC was always faster at doing the mkvs, in that, if I want to jump to a certain frame, the jump is instantaneous on MPC but laggy on VLC.

Yeah I know what you mean. That is why I use more than one media player. Though I love KMplayer!

Could be the DXVA in MPC-HC. Great piece of software in every respect.

Can it do video-wallpaper in Win7?

EDIT: Nope, doesn't work. Half a kingdom and a princess* to the one who can tell me how to have a video wallpaper under Win7 and Aero too

*not really, but a big thanks

If you want to play mkv x254 bla files then I hiiighly recomend checking out some new divx filter which is in beta.

Normaly windows does not let the gpu process mkv, only wmv and some other formats. The divx filter changes that, smooth smooth playback

The extension of the file doesn't mean much. MKV is just a container; it's the codec that matters. I'm also guessing you meant Windows Media Player instead of Windows, because Windows itself isn't going to place any restrictions (it's the player that matters, not the OS itself). You don't need a divx filter to allow for GPU acceleration. For instance, MPC HC does a great job of using the GPU to speed things up, via DXVA.
