Confused about download sites

Postby jagman55 » 06 Aug 2013 12:25

It appears there 2 ORG sites that are for VLC PLAYER.
One is SOURCEFORGE.ORG and the other one is VIDEOLAN.ORG

One offers 2.06 and the other is 2.08.

WHICH is the official site?

What is the difference between the two? The players are the same? Or look the same.

I have used VLC for years but never really knew the difference or which I should use/trust.

Always download from the original VideoLAN site so you can't be wrong:
