NEGRITUDE  A debug build of VLC 1.1.2 for PPC Macs:

http://jones.videolan.org/~videolan/fpk/ppc-debug/vlc-1.1.2-git-powerpc.dmg

Note that, the reason there hasn't been an official public release of VLC 1.1.x for PPC is because of a nasty video corruption bug that only affects those machines. Be patient. They're working on it.

KEESBAKKER  1.1.1 is extremely buggy for me. It created a massive amount of errors in the Console which caused the cpu to max out. Dropping back to 1.1.0 and I have no problems.

CCIE  I also experienced numerous errors with v1.1.1, causing the video to be extremely choppy, to the point of being unusable.

MACLOVER1.1  Best piece of Multimedia playing software ! I just wish the icon would reflect its real nature.. even if Wikipedia explains its origins...

"The cone icon used in VLC is a reference to the traffic cones collected by Ecole Centrale's Networking Students' Association."

MUGSUK  awesome piece of software - seldom do I feel that a piece of software achieves all it needs to, but you guys have done it, and in 64 bit... very sharp.

couldn't thin of any codecs I miss

interface looking a little dated, but has no negative impact on functionality

no problems or crashes in the last year or so

THEMACMONK  That may be because some of the later 1.0.x and all of the 1.1.x PPC builds have a known issue with the display of some types of files, notably .avi and .m4v, in which audio plays but the video is scrambled. Hopefully the delay is so they can fix this!
