VLC 2.0 Released

[topgear]

one of the best audio player ( I play video with other app ) with minimal resource use IMO - Still using ver 1.01 - time to upgrade

 

[gameranand]

Going to download rightaway.

I praise VLC for all the reasons mentioned before.
However there's one problem I found in TwoFlower. IDK whether something's wrong with my OS but it hasn't been on the previous versions.
Whenever I open some movie/video file, on moving the mouse slightly the video starts lagging and sometimes the video stops while audio keeps playing. I have to move the seek bar and leave the mouse to get it right.
Anyone seem to have this problem?

PS - Still happy for VLC for reaching v2 and improved GUI.

Probably a broken index in the video you are trying to play...unless it happens in every video.

Also, I noticed that I am unable to drag and drop vids into the VLC window to play them. Anyone else facing this problem?

Nope, I'm having sound issues, like this:
The volume control seems to have been designed by the same people whose job it is to make the temperature control on showers. You know how you've got about 300° of rotation but the first 140° are ice cold and the last 140° are like lava? So it is with the volume control VLC, upto 50% its low, above that very high, it seems my listening sweetspot is gone

 

[Desmond]

Correct.

You'll get used to it.

It will probably get resolved in the following updates.

Edit: You can also try tweaking the system volume and your speaker/headphone volume (if any) to get the desired output.

Also, please tell if anyone is able to play stuff via drag and drop.

I can play via drag and drop.

Edit: On windows 7 x64.

Drag and Drop works for me with VLC in Arch Linux.

Not anything weird in Volume Control either for me.

I was browing images in rar archive and playing a video (ISO inside rar file) which was not finished downloading and was in 4 parts.

Pretty awesome.

 

[Neo]

Yes there is an audio issue with it on windows 7 x86 .

^^ new that is awesome.

To those who are experiencing audio issues, this might throw some light.

In previous versions of VLC, we could only increased volume to 100% through the UI, and then could increase it further to 200% through mouse's scroll wheel. In this version, we can now adjust volume to 200% right from the UI. And since now we can increase volume to 200% directly, it is looking as if it is increasing in logarithmic fashion.

I think this is something we would get used to eventually.

Waiting for an audio fix. + takes a few ms more for a cold start.

What was the exact version which you were using previously?

I am sure I could only increase it to 100% via the UI in version upto 1.1.11, after 100% it would go up but the UI would show till 100%, from 100-200% was shown in OSD, not the UI.

@tkin: Exactly dude, thanks for explaining!

Btw, @Terabyte: I think I have found a great explanation to this new volume slider here: Case study: videolan’s volume control | GoodSense - Hunting Ergonom'Hiccups

Videolan is a really popular Open Source multimedia player. In it’s most recent versions, the interface has been redesigned with the Qt Toolkit and introduces a new audio volume control.

This control now provides the ability of amplifying sound, which is more than just setting up output levels. It ranges from 0% up to 200% (+3dB). While this might be really useful for some DVD or bad audio tracks, this initial design brings many problems.

Users can’t set precisely the volume to 100% without applying amplification.

The 100% level is not materialized in any way in the control and the user has the only option to slide volume approximately until it reaches 100%. Aiming at the right level is difficult and going too far triggers amplification.

[tkin]

^^ Its the right explanation, either too high or too low.

I already have the klite pack. WMP does fine with it.
