MACLOVER1.1 1.0.2 is 64-bit and 1.0.3 is not ?!? How did that happen ? Handbrake new version is not happy with either 1.0.2 and 1.0.3... Confusion... It tells you 1.0.2 is outdated.. and 1.0.3 is not 64 bit... Guess I need to revert to both older versions... Odd situation.

ERUNNO The 64 bit version of 1.0.2 had too many stability problems and therefore it was decided by the VLC developers to refrain from releasing further 64 bit versions until all corresponding bugs are fixed. Regarding VLC and HandBrake I recommend that you read the following: http://trac.handbrake.fr/wiki/SupportFAQ#vlc

CASTLE ROSE Why the hell isn't the current VLC compatible with Tiger? Are they simply getting lazy? I'm using a Powerbook G4 as well. I don't have room or the need for Leopard. Tiger is hardly old enough to start dropping support for it. Come-on guys.

DP8 MACLOVER - I ran into the same problem - no 64bit 1.0.3 version! Then I found this thread: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=67363 Looks like 1.0.3 64bit has some nasty bugs. You can get the nightly builds still - link is on that page.

THECAUSE Great player that plays a lot of formats that Quicktime chokes on. Would like a more streamlined easy to use playlist so it could act as a replacement for iTunes, as iTunes playlist are great, but the compatibility isn't so great.

YOSHINATSU 1.0.3 seems more stable, but I'm on 10.6.1, and me and a friend of mine have both encountered a weird problem with .mkv files. There are certain .mkv files where VLC just takes 1 minute or so to open them, or just crashes. That alone made me switch to Mplayer, since I have A LOT of .mkv files and I love them.

MEGAS88 I found the solution to this problem last night in the fourms. Check out the last post here. I'll put it here just in case. Now mkv's open almost instantly for me like they should. http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=44346&start=30 Re: X264 .MKV file on VLC... cannot play, help MAC NOOB!! New postby EvoIce on Sun Nov 01, 2009 2:14 pm Hello I recently stumble upon this Thread while having trouble with Playing 1080p mkv video on VLC version 1.0.2 on my Macbook Pro 2.6 ghz 4 gb ram 8600M GT 512mb. While looking around I found that you can change how VLC opens MKV files, in the pref>input/codecs>Demuxers>Matroska. one of the issues were with long load times on big mkv files. Their (VLC forums') solution was to untick the preload Directory box, which didn't solve the problem, so I started playing with the preferences. I found if I unchecked all the boxes except for "seek based on percent not time" the video plays flawlessly, perhaps not flawlessly but it doesn't crash! Please tell me if this has worked for you, or what prefs did you change so that it works, Thanks

FLAVUM I have the same problem as you. I believe that many of the crashing/freezing problems are related to subtitles. I also have many mkv files, and some of them open and play fine until I turn on subtitles under the Video menu. Then the movie freezes, forcing me to quit (or force-quit) VLC. Earlier versions didn't exhibit this behavior (prior to 1.0.2).

YOSHINATSU Unfortunately, this didn't happen to solve my problem... :(

YOSHINATSU I've found a workaround to the issue I had. I figured there was some kind of "conflict" on the fontconfig files, so I had to complete delete Mplayer which would change the configuration each and every time, and then run the following command on the Terminal: sudo chmod a+w /usr/X11/var/cache/fontconfig

DR. GIRLFRIEND The crashing problems seems to have been fixed (yay!), but it seems to be using a bit more memory than previous versions (85 - 95MB in VLC v1.03 vs 23MB in MPlayer Extended rev 1210). Thanks for the update, devs. Good job.

MONKEYJUNKEY Version 1.0.3 is out and it is (currently) "only" 32-bit. Which is not a problem. 1.0.2 64-bit always crashed on me. 32-bit was fine. So just f*ck it! And use 32-bit 1.0.3. We'll see how that does, but 64-bit never worked for me. Also, their homepage is a bit messy with old versions flying around everywhere...

UMAROMC Yeah I noticed the MIA 64-bit version as well... although the 64-bit version worked fine for me. I personally never noticed a performance improvement over the 32-bit version.

JON555 I don't know why there's so much hate towards VLC. It's an awesome player that is incredibly easy to use. You don't have to spend hours messing with settings and junk like that, audio/video is very excellent out of the box. It's feature-rich, free, and consistently updated. It's plays just about everything, and plays it well. It (on some rare occasions) has slight issues with subs, but again, those are rare. This is a fantastic player. Keep up the awesome work devs!

DR. GIRLFRIEND I don't see any hate here, just people reporting various problems. That's a good thing, since it helps contribute to the program's improvement. :) Nobody is denying that VLC is an awesome app or that the devs aren't to be commended (it is and they are), but from the comments I've read here and elsewhere, it seems version 1.02 wasn't a very stable release.

MISHA I am definitely getting a ton of crashes with 1.0.2, even just opening files sometimes.

DONG-YOUNG VLC is now unusable for me. I hope these problems are fixed.

MISHA There's a lot of discussion in the VLC forums about the instability. A lot of it is caused indirectly by 10.6. Subtitles crash VLC all the time, so disable subtitles in Preferences to avoid that. That fixed a lot of my crashes.
