FILEnetworks Blog: VLC Media Player 1.0.0 Final

Pretty awesome news indeed – after a number of 0.X.X builds, VLC Media Player 1.0.0 ‘goldeneye’ has finally been released. This is a major upgrade over earlier versions and incorporates a number of new features and improvements such as on the fly recording for all media, RTSP trickplay support, timeshift, frame-by-frame playback and more. VLC 1.0.0 also includes many new video decoders including Real Video 3.0 & 4.0 decoder, AES3 decoder, New Dolby Digital Plus - E-AC-3 (A/52b) decoder, new True HD/MLP decoder, etc. Best thing about the new features is that they have not made the app bloated – VLC is still a slim, lightweight media player that can play almost any sh1t you throw at it.

Along with many improvements to playback/decoding capabilities, the UI has also got a facelift. There really are lots of new stuff here and a simple blog post is not suffice to describe them all in detail. Some of the new features are listed below ( and some are not so install and discover them yourself).
