Needs Mac devs to continue:
All work on the Mac version of VLC may soon have to come to a halt, says VideoLAN.

Should this also be in the Programming section? You know, just for the exposure?

Thanks to the "man behind the curtain" for moving this. Is this Kansas?

Doesn't surprise me. Open source software has one huge drawback. No money, no guarantees.

Not understanding this since I don't use those apps anymore...
From one of the posters..
Ok, this cannot happen!
For one thing, it would destroy Handbrake and FairMount...

I rarely use VLC, but it has come in handy for that rare video file that nothing else will open.

I use it, and it might sound convoluted, but here is how.
I have EyeTV and watch DirecTV progs on my 24 inch iMac. If I open VLC I can "capture" the EyeTV picture and watch using VLC.
Why would I do that? Well, VLC has losts more bells and whistles for controlling the view and sound of the EyeTV reception.

I use VLC for all of my media. I would hate it to see it go away.
