VLC reaches 2.0
  • VLC 2.0 "Twoflower" is a major new version of our popular media player.
  • With faster decoding on multi-core, GPU, and mobile hardware and the ability to open more formats, notably professional, HD and 10bits codecs, 2.0 is a major upgrade for VLC.
  • Twoflower has a new rendering pipeline for video, with higher quality subtitles, and new video filters to enhance your videos.
  • It supports many new devices and BluRay Discs (experimental).
  • Completely reworked Mac and Web interfaces and improvements in the other interfaces make VLC easier than ever to use.
  • Twoflower fixes several hundreds of bugs, in more than 7000 commits from 160 volunteers.

Downloaded it yesterday and seen few UI changes like the progress bar enlarger in full screen mode and a new progress bar added as well. I observed high sound at lower volume levels than in the 1.1.11

The sound is getting distorted. But isn't that normal for our speakers at such a high volume..??

GPU decoding is still the cr@p it was, cause artifacts when seeking, something correavc circumvented years ago, like the new interface though, gives it more of a pro look, sound actually got a lot less for a given volume level(using PL30, I am dead on accurate about this), which actually helps, cause previously even 5% of volume would hurt my ear(easy to drive iems), but now I can go to 50%, gives more control over audio.

Also like the new customize interface feature.


PS: Given everything, FFDSHOW/Coreavc still provides higher video quality with windows.
