@ Jack6428, let me sort of stick up for joppu on this one, because I see where he's coming from. I'll explain his stance in a nutshell, so let me know, joppu, if I'm offbase.
Joppu wants all apps to work WITH the development previous devs have worked hard on to make it better. He is totally against splintering apps and doing work twice. I see his point, and look at VLC totally differently now. He's made a valid point, and we need to really look at how we choose and use code with the betterment of the OS in mind.
b) mplayer (which joppu favors) is even less modular than vlc (if modularity is the issue at hand).
Thanks for clearing that up, range. I officially learned alot in that post. Now I have to say this: Why ARE you tripping, then, joppu?! I don't see why.
@ f(x), I'm not judging. I like VLC, and its my preferred player. I just tried to see from joppu's perspective, but after getting the info from range, joppu's stance has little merit. I wonder why he feels the way he does?
I think VLC killed his dog :P
Because he doesn't like VLC - which is totally fine. I don't like xine (another multimedia solution with its own set of libs) either. But yeah, he's a tad too vocal with it, IMHO
joppu, i find your hate of VLC and overall negativity on these boards in every topic funny to say, at least, sad as well.
VLC is the best "out of the box" player out there (media player classic is ok too though).
I really dont understand your problems. Pixelation/artifacts can happen even on a quad-core if the file is badly encoded or is not encoded in the "common" way.
It happens, its normal, nothing is perfect, ever, face it
And mind I say it happens only with MKV files, because they are simply more advanced with more features with a wider range of algorhytm possibilities.
Your attitude "i know best" is getting old.
