Re: update VLC
If you still have doubts I'll tell you my own experience.
I even used the VLC repos,not the Packman version.
After I installed the VLC,this was 0.99, it wouldn't play the following extensions .flv,.mp4,mpeg2, & .mov
Also,it didn't play DVDs or Cds.
When it did play a video(in the formats not listed above) it could only be from from what I had on my HDD & even then it was sluggish with tiling & momentary freezes.
I uninstalled the whole mess, put in the Packman version & it still played as badly as stated. What I ultimately did was a re-install, then I put in the Packman version at that time0.98. I paid a big price for curiosity.
So for anyone that thinks we all are just playing favorites here,I say this learn from my experience!
