I really don't think VideoLAN gets enough credit... let's take a moment to appreciate how much VLC Media Player has made our lives that much better by providing seamless compatibility for all of our torrented movies.

1,000,000,000 downloads well deserved!

VLC is a good player. It has its ups and downs, but for the most part its been great.

True, they have a wonderfully powerful player, but you have to admit that the image quality has really suffered in the last few iterations, especially with interlaced footage and H.264 material. They use to be able to smooth out the video to look great no matter how badly encoded it was, now things look so blocky that I actually moved back to WMP for most content, which has much better post processing... even if it is frustrating not being able to control it like you can with VLC.

I'm excited about the ARMv6 release because that means it will run on the Raspberry PI

Big supporter of VideoLan... best thing around EVER.

But.. yes, it's true it has issues with Interlaced stuff. Have seen it lately

VLC was at one point my default player...
now its my back up and streaming player

mostly because zoom/mpc plays everything i want with less glitches, but the few things that it wont play (old ogm files) vlc will

I wonder if there will be support for VOB file structure playback (aka DVD structure) I know there is software to play mp2 files, but not as a dvd (menus, language selection and so on...).

Yes, vlc,mplayer, mpc-hc,zoom... all provide menu support through libdvdnav

VLC is an awesome player.. but what it needs badly is 3D support.. At this moment I use on linux Bino player for playing back 3D content (it can take any input -over-under, half side by side etc.. and it can change rearrange to other formats, even output to all the flavours of anaglyph on the fly), it's also really good for 2D stuff as well since it has great hardware acceleration..

Now if only it had better H.264 hardware decoding support - on my E350 laptop, it can't play 1080p video without hogging the entire CPU! WMP does it just fine on there...
