Hello, I tried to download vlc 2.2.1 which should be compatible with Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow leopard. But when I try to install the player it says that it's not compatible with my Mac ? Any help? I have the old version of vlc and it works well except on HD videos....

VLC 2.2.1 is 64-bit only so if you have a 32-bit Mac, you'll need 2.0.10.

2.2.1(64) has no trouble on my late 2006 C2D MacBook running 10.6.8

Carsten, that's because you have a 64-bit Mac.

@bohlgas - what version is your 'old' VLC player? Up until some recent versions, there were both 32Bit and 64Bit version for VLC available for the 2.x path.
e.g. I still have 2.0.5(32) on my disc. These should be still available on the previous version archives:
