The non-profit VideoLAN Organization has announced the release of VLC 2.0 FINAL. VLC is a popular cross-platform, open-source video player capable of handling most media formats, and version 2.0 represents the first landmark update since its first official release in June 2009.
The most radical changes in VLC 2.0 will be found on the Mac platform, with support for Blu-ray playback being overshadowed by a radical overhaul of the user interface. This major step forward has divided the VLC community since it first emerged, with some decrying the loss of version 1’s minimalist approach to video playback.
VLC 2.0 on the Mac platform replaces the simplistic interface of version 1.x in favor of something more akin to iTunes, while also embracing the look of OS X Lion. It opens in Playlist view, with a two-paned window containing a list of common locations for media files in the left-hand pane, and an invitation to drag and drop files into the window for playback on the right.
Media controls sit at the bottom of the window, and there’s a new audio effects option next to the full-screen button, which takes advantage of Lion’s full-screen support. Options in the left-hand window include a shortcut to the user’s iTunes library and a playlist option, as well as UPNP and various internet streams.
VLC 2.0 for Mac also includes experimental Blu-ray support, plus adds support for VLC’s lua-based extensions. These support various interactive features, such as pulling movie information and subtitles from the Internet, or posting to Twitter.

Version 2.0 is very much aimed at Mac users, with Linux and Windows users seeing less radical changes, although behind-the-scenes improvements, detailed in full at the VLC changelog, make the update worth pursuing for all platforms.
One major upgrade for Windows users is a dedicated 64-bit build of VLC, while the release notes also hint at future versions for mobile users, with an Android version in development, due to join VLC Media Player for iOS, which currently stands at version 1.1.
VLC 2.0 FINAL is a free, open-source download for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Open-source, cross-platform VLC Media Player 2.0.5 has been released for Windows and Mac. Although a relatively minor update, it fixes a number of regressions from previous releases, plus improves overall stability and performance. Mac users also get a slightly tweaked user interface.
Also released alongside the main build is VLC Media Player 2.0.5 Portable, a standalone version for Windows users that requires no installation.
Headline new fixes in version 2.0.5 include improved reliability when playing back MKV, Koreus and SWF files as well as the subtitles demuxer. Also fixed are MPEG2 audio and video encoding, while a number of security issues -- notably with the HTML subtitle parser and AIFF demuxer.

The new build also promises improvements in the form of “rework and fixes” to the Mac interface – we noticed new Library icons, for starters. OS X 10.5 (Leopard) users will also be pleased to learn a system sleep issue has also been fixed. Windows users get a fix for https streaming.
The new build fixes issues with DVB-S delivery system detection, adds new Welsh and Interlingua translations while updating 24 others, and also includes hundreds of other unspecified bug fixes, including around 100 commits on top of version 2.0.4 to fix a number of regressions in the 2.0.x development branch.
The latest build is rolling out as an automatic update now, but you can jump the gun by downloading both VLC Media Player 2.0.5 for Windows and Mac, and VLC Media Player 2.0.5 Portable for Windows. Remember, it’s a simple and free way to add DVD video playback functionality to Windows 8 too.
