This build introduces an important number of fixes for MKV, SWF, AIFF, RTSP, subtitles and encoding. This build also improves the Mac OS interface, some video filters and Pulseaudio synchronization.

Overview
VLC Media Player (VLC) is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework, that plays most multimedia files formats as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols without external codec or program. It is simple to use, yet very powerful and extendable, and can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network. This release include fixes for FTP relative paths and directories and fixes for Podcast and DVD modules.

VLC 2.0.x "Twoflower" is a major new version of our popular media player. With faster decoding on multi-core, GPU, and mobile hardware and the ability to open more formats, notably professional, HD and 10bits codecs, 2.0 is a major upgrade for VLC. VLC 2.0.x has a new rendering pipeline for video, with higher quality subtitles, and new video filters to enhance your videos. It supports many new devices and BluRay Discs (experimental). Completely reworked Mac and Web interfaces and improvements in the other interfaces make VLC easier than ever to use.

• MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 / DivX files from a hard disk, a CD-ROM drive, and so on.
