vlc with new mac stuff

[mister master]

Hey, what about Universal binaries, and such, does that mean you will be planing this in the future? What does the timeline look like

Also now you can play wmf in Quicktime Thx to the fact that Micro$oft gave up on wmp for osX, and you can get it from them, Just in case you had no idea (its a free flip4mac plugin thingie)

VLC is going to be a Universal Binary by the next release (hopefully). Anyway, we will release an Intel-only binary in a couple of days.

Regarding the Flip4Mac-plugin: That's a QuickTime-plugin which VLC doesn't support (this cannot be accomplished without breaking our own licence actually). Anyway, the ffmpeg-people are working on a free implementation of WMV3, which will be finished by this year (that's what I hope) and included in VLC once it is out.

You are incorrect here FK. Using the QT components is as legal as using the native windows WMV decoder on Windows.

Thanks for the hint I thought that it would be legal for QT-components by Apple only but not for additional components provided by 3rd party companies (-> which aren't part of the OS). Anyway, I agree that this is a kind of really strict interpretation of the GPL
