Following a comment by artie in another thread, I decided to investigate alternative media players (other than QuickTime, which is just a shadow of its former self), in particular the above-captioned.
The VLC media player is in version 1.1.12 for Mac OS X and is 64-bit for Lion. Upcoming is version 1.2.0 (currently in beta).
Various blurbs give it full marks. The big "but" is that I can find no really intelligent or in-depth reviews of the VLC MP — most often they're just rehashes of the distributor's release notes, which are meager themselves — and those that do pop up in the search almost invariably have ads on the websites for MacKeeper, which has been almost universally condemned in these forums — ergo, suspect review sources.
Any experiences with VLC out there — good, bad or ugly? Recommendations?
