That's really sad to hear... VLC is such a great fully featured program. It's also the only one that really works well on a Mac. I think it's best that Mac support be increased to make sure VLC remains #1 on the Mac. Macs are becoming more and more popular these days, especially since they switched ...

It seems that Mac support is still secondary at best compared to the Windows releases. We'll just have to wait, I suppose.

I tried to link vlc to ffmpeg-mt. No big build problems. However, the result is not very promising on my machine ( Dual 2Ghz PPCG5 ) With only 2 threads enabled ffmpeg wil be too late to decode a picture - multithreaded decoding set to FF_THREAD_SLICE ( multiple threads will try to decode one frame...

If it was true that it doesn't play right because of the CPU, and that h.264 video relies only on the CPU power, then why the same 1080p videos play seamlessly without any problems on Windows 7 running on this same Mac Mini?? Is this using the same version of VLC on both Windows 7 and MacOS X? No, ...

In any case, I hope the new 1.0 will have dealt with some of these issues.

I'm having the same problem when I try to watch 1080p videos on my Mac Mini. :cry: I have a Mac Mini (Early 2009) with nVidia 9400 - 256MB video chipset and 4GB of RAM. In this same machine I run 1080p videos using Windows with BootCamp in Windows Media Player without any problems, but I can't find...

Since this problem seems to be happening in Windows as well, I did a search on the Windows side of the forum, and found that the problem is that mkv h.264 is reliant on CPU rather than GPU, and that VLC has been having issues with mkv for a while now. Though it's weird that it freezes at the exact s...

Hello, I did some searching on the forum, but couldn't find much. Hopefully someone can help me out here. For a while now, VLC seems to have problems playing mkv files on my macbook. It plays typically alright, and then certain segments, usually a scene where there's some substantial and sudden move...
