Desktop alternatives to MegauploadIt's not officially published on their website yet, but it seems that VLC media player 1.0 RC is about to be released. At least that's what we can infer from the fact that the news has been leaked across the Internet and the file is already available to download from FileHippo.
While this is not the official VLC Release Candidate – if you understand "official" as coming from the developer's website – we just couldn't resist the temptation to download it and take a look. VLC Player has always been one of our favorite pieces of software and we were eager to see all the new features.
At first sight, as you can see, VLC 1.0 hasn't changed that much. The program still keeps its characteristic plain interface that makes it really simple to use. But going into detail you'll notice a slight change in the toolbar layout, with "Playback" now next to "Media", and an important reorganization in menu layouts, to access certain tools more easily and also include some of VLC's new utilities.
Among these new features, you'll find the following:
- Instantaneous pausing
- Frame by frame playback
- Finer playback speed control
- New and fixed audio and video decoders
- On-the-fly recording for all media
- Timeshift for most media
- On the fly zip file decompression and browsing
- Support for DVB-S and ATSC cards on Windows
- Experimental Blu-Ray disc and AVCHD folder support
- New Blu-Ray Linear PCM decoder
- Customizable interface controls
- Global Hotkeys on Windows and Linux
- Controllable by multimedia keys on modern Apple keyboards (OS X only)
- Several new and improved decoders, demuxers, encoders, and other codec-related goodies
Besides all these changes, VLC Media Player 1.0 RC still stands out for its main characteristic: the ability to play virtually any media file type you can drop onto it. In the end, this is probably why we love it so much.
I've use this software for about two months, and I find it really interesting: relatively fast, does not need many resources, does not need external codecs... Thanks for the article ;) Un saludo jaja ;)
I'm using VLC version 0.9.9 and although it looks cleaner and nicer than earlier version, I do not know why the removed the slow motion controls from the player. For example, on this version, when you're playing a movie, the only controls are <> next media file. Before there was a slow button and a FFW button right next to these two buttons I mentioned. For this reason alone, I use this old version on my home PC. While I'm at work, I use the new version as I don't really need the slow motion features to listen to MP3's.
Whoops, that message came out looking 'tarded. What I meant to say was that I don't know why THEY removed the slow motion controls from the player, and the only controls on the player are < > which is for the next media file
Oh well. I guess this comment board doesn't like the use of arrows.
Hi Bishop, If you look at the images above the Fast Forward (>>) & Slow Motion (<<) controls are at each end of the progress bar, which is directly beneath the playback screen. They take the accepted form of merged double arrows, with the playback speed being shown in the box located between media name, and elapsed time boxes. These controls are found in version 0.9.9, which I use all the time to playback CCTV from my company's security systems, as well as version 1 Hope that helps

How do you make it keep playing the slow playback speed? When it starts over at the end of the movie, it automatically reverts to normal speed. :(

Honestly, this is my least Fave player, however when Div X doesn't work on my PC, which is my Fave by the way, I use all different kinds of Players, it just depends on what i'm watching, or listening to, but usually for DVD's I go with VLC, cause it has a lot of features other players don't like screen size of 16 by 10, :D
Div X looks way better, but I can never get it to play Disc Videos, like DVD's, so I just go with VLC for that, :D
Other Video Players, like WMP, I just use those for their own formats, :D
Anyways, I give VLC Player a 7/10 for the crappy Interface, & great use of DVD's, but yet needs a few more features that we can easily use, I guess...
