"It supports many new devices and BluRay Discs (experimental)." as quoted from the link, so not the finished article.

Also your sig is too big.

I downloaded VLC 2.0 last night, but haven't had time to road test it yet.

Must include some fairly cool stuff to go from 1.1.2 (or whatever it was) straight to 2.0

I think this is v2 as a full release. It's the support for BluRay that is new and experimental. There might be a 2.0.1 release later on if they need to improve on that.

The UI on windows is a bit more polished.

Yeah, the mac one looks even better.

The VLC custom made skins are poor so it's nice to have an updated default UI.

Installed, played MKV.

It works...

I do not use anything else that seems different other than a pretty UI.

I played MKV on the previous version.

The question is, can it play BlueRay discs?

Jay794 · 20 Feb 2012 at 09:40

Love the new UI but I think the default skin should be like the OSX version, looks loads nicer

It's nice but it's still no touch on MPC-HC.

Nexus18 · 20 Feb 2012 at 12:03

^^

MPC-HC BE is indeed much better IMO! Especially once you set it up with even better codecs etc. everything looks even more stunning and it just plays whatever you throw at it flawlessly!

Think I can link this forum? If not please delete mods:

The 2.0.0 branch release can...but you need to download some key files from other places loosely associated with VLC

Not had a chance to look at this, but I presume its going in similar vain to the branch version

. (Really do hate most blu-ray software around at the moment, really don't need a massive UI to watch movies with!!)

Thanks will check out this update to VLC.

Also didnt know about MPC-HC will grab that as well, use it alongside VLC and then trash one of them when Ive taken my pick!

dvb scan .conf support is broken in 2.0

I've found that MPC-HC will occasionally choke on files that VLC plays fine, and vice versa... doesn't hurt to keep them both installed IMO, just set the one you like best as the default video player and have the other one available from your Explorer context menu.
