Download VLC Media Player 1.1.2

The developers of VideoLAN have released an update for last week’s version 1.1.1 of VLC Media Player. This open source cross platform media player can play a variety of audio, video and streaming formats without having to install the appropriate codec. VLC Media Player is available for Windows 2000 and above, Linux, Mac OS X and BSD. Older versions are also available for Windows 9x, BeOS, Morphos, and Windows CE, among others. New in version 1.1.1 included DxVA2 hardware acceleration in combination with ATi video cards, when using at least version 10.7 of the Catalyst drivers. In version 1.1.2 the following improvements have also been made:

Demuxers:

• Avformat fps display fix
• TS, fix an issue where some programs would get dropped (fixes DVB issues too)

audio filters:

• fix timestamps handling on some filters that provoked issues when playback of mono streams, especially on Windows

Windows:

• fix a bug in direct3d video output with old nVidia drivers that broke video playback with overlay (YUV->RGB)
• fix console output encoding

Interface and extensions:

• Youtube and other scripts updates
• Misc fixes in Qt4 (especially VLM and EPG dialogs) and MacOS interface
