Yes, as it turns out.  Between the 1.x and 2.x series, they switched 
to using a major new revision of libavcodec -- which has some severe 
problems.


The fix, for now, is to revert to VLC 1.1.9
http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/1.1.9/macosx/

as we used to get it to work bu now only a black screen in 10.4.11

Well, the above will only help on Leopard or newer.  For Tiger, 
you're stuck with 0.9.10.


Have you tried reinstalling the app, and trashing its prefs?

I noticed this behavior also.

Think think Software Update has been limited to "system software" and 
everything else goes thru the AppStore now? The fact that Leopard doesn't have 
an AppStore app doesn't matter too much because Apple doesn't support Leopard 
or PPC any longer.

VLC vs Leopard

2012-08-29 Thread Dan

Hi,

I finally updated my QuickSilver (2002) from Tiger to Leopard, yesterday.

For the most part it went well.  Clean install of 10.5.4 then applied 
the combo to get to 10.5.8.  SU hit me with a bunch of stuff, like a 
Security Update and Java.  But then I had to fetch the latest iTunes 
and QuickTime from Apple manually - they weren't showing up in 
Software Update at all!


Performance seems good, except for VLC...

I've got a bunch of mpeg-2 videos (direct DVD rips and such) that 
played quite well in VLC 0.9.10 on Tiger.  But in VLC 2.0.2 they 
stutter badly, then VLC crashes!  I reverted to 0.9.10, and they're 
playing smoothly again.


Anyone else having problems with VLC 2?  Is there a build between 0.9 
and 2 that's worth trying, or should I just stick with 0.9.10?


Thanks,
- Dan.
