I installed version 3.0 and tested a DVD. The program completely crashed. I tried several times and it kept crashing. I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled, and it still crashed with the DVD.
I tested it on another machine running v3.0 and it crashed again. I downgraded to 2.2.8 on the first machine and the DVD worked fine after that. I submitted the crash reports to VLC but wanted to let you all know, at least for me, it was crashing. MP4s appear to be playing fine though.
