Since this has turned into a "dump on VLC" thread: thank-you, VLC devs, for all the work that you do. I've been a diehard VLC user since 2006/2007, when I happily discovered a single .exe program could handle all of the files that I was continuously updating the ever-growing K-Lite Media Pack in order to handle. It found additional use as a Portable App that lived on the flash drive in my pocket, allowing me to pull it out at late-night piracy parties and confidently play the unviewable file that someone had grabbed off Kazaa.
To this day, it's the one program I can recommend to friends and family to install, regardless of OS/platform, that I will be confident can handle anything they throw at it. You guys do great work.
