As the title says, is there a downloadable binary available for Intel, even just a beta/testing version? I have attempted to compile VLC for Mac OS X for Intel, always ending in non-recoverable failure, some sort of make-related error. I've bypassed the non-essential libraries, tried various recent versions, all without luck.
The latest version I've found available and working is here:

However, that's an svn version of 0.8.4, and it has a number of bothersome issues that are known fixed bugs since that version. It also exhibits a major problem whereby on my machine it malfunctions when using OpenGL video output... the colors are insane pink/green and pretty psychedelic. Cool if you want to simulate your video on LSD, not cool if you want to actually watch it. OpenGL typically offloads the YUV color conversion very efficiently, and for HDTV, CPU-based YUV color conversion is as big of a task as the MPEG-2 decoding, so the speedup really is significant.
Are there any development/testing/beta versions of a recent build of VLC for Intel? Or more recent directions for building VLC for Intel Macs? I'm really looking for something here...
