Download VLC Media Player 1.1.1

The developers of VideoLAN have released 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. This release includes several libVLC improvements and DxVA2 hardware acceleration along with ATi graphics cards. This requires the soon to be released version 10.7 of the Catalyst drivers on the system. The full changelog of this release looks like this:

libVLC:

• New capabilities for libVLC:
  • Adjust video filter control: libvlc_adjust_Enable, libvlc_adjust_Contrast, libvlc_adjust_Brightness, libvlc_adjust_Hue, libvlc_adjust_Saturation, libvlc_adjust_Gamma
  • libvlc_media_player_set_pause() can force the pause state, whereas libvlc_media_player_pause() would only toggle it.
  • libvlc_set_user_agent() configures the “user agent” strings used for some protocols (HTTP, PulseAudio…). This replaces the –http-user-agent and the former –user-agent libvlc_new() parameters.
  • libvlc_video_set_callbacks() and libvlc_video_set_format() allow grabbing video frames from a chosen memory location in real-time. This replace the ugly –vmem-* libvlc_new() parameters in previous versions. See as an example.
  • libvlc_audio_get_delay() and libvlc_audio_set_delay() configure the delay between audio and video/subpictures for the current input.
