AIKOUSHA Wow, now it won't play in Tiger anymore. By September is it going to be Intel and Snow Leopard ONLY? (Version 1.0rc4) | |

ROBOTANK The Intel 64-bit version of RC4 crashes on quit every time. I've tried deleting old preferences to no avail. I guess I'll have to try the regular 32-bit version, though other 64-bit apps work no problem for me. Anyone else have this issue? (Version 1.0rc4) | |

CHLOE I have the same problem too with the 64-bit version of VLC 1.0rc4. It crashes every time when I try to quit the app. The 32-bit version works perfectly fine, though. Macbook Unibody, Intel 2.0GHz, 2GB RAM, 10.5.7 (Version 1.0rc4) | |

ASHMADUX not sure why, but the ppc version is going down the tubes. in what used to be my main playback software, perian through quicktime slaughters it in sheer performance. The last few releases have just performed horribly, on a dual 2.5 g5 (4.5gb ram) - not exactly a slouch machine. Stutter, stutter, and more stutter. Opening the same file in quicktime, and its smooth as silk. Hopefully they get it up to speed, vlc has built a lot of respect over the years. (Version 1.0rc4) | |

VIKRAM SHARMA The release of VLC 1.0 RC4 (PPC Version) should be out soon. I don't think they ditching the PPC platform so soon. One more thing there is also a 64 Bit version of VLC (Intel) available at http://download.videolan.org/pub/testing/vlc-1.0.0-rc4/macosx/ (Version 1.0rc4) | |

YOSHINATSU Yes, yes, indeed. That's the only issue I have with RC3. That and the fact that the preferences are not saved. (Version 1.0rc3) | |

DAN BUCHAN Both this and the previous rc build exhibit the same bug: when trying to open a VIDEO_TS folder (from a ripped DVD disk image), the "Browse" button is grayed out. I reinstalled 0.9.9, and it works like it always did. (Version 1.0rc3) | |

YOSHINATSU AT LAST, post-processing is back!! It's back! In combination with the evolving RM support VLC is gonna be the ONLY player you'll ever want! RC3 seems really stable so far. Plus Last.fm scrobbling support AND headphone surround mode. That's it. That's the player we, Mac users, have been dreaming of :) (Version 1.0rc3) | |

BLUESTAR Seems to play vids OK but I'm unable to define a folder for snapshots in prefs, therefore doesn't take snapshots. Back to 0.9.9a... :-( (Version 1.0rc2) | |
