VLC 2.1.x

Du nouveau chez VideoLAN.

VLC passe à la version 2.1 et les changements sont importants.

1. Abandon du PowerPC et du i386.

Les G4 et G5 devront en rester à VLC 2.0.8. Même destin pour les Macs dotés de CoreDuo ou non éligibles à OS X Lion. Dorénavant, c'est Snow Leopard minimum et Intel 64 bits uniquement.

2. Accélération matérielle pour le H264

Comme QuickTime X VLC profite du GPU pour lire les vidéos H264.

3. Beaucoup d'améliorations dont vous trouverez la liste ici :

VLC est toujours disponible sur le site de VideoLAN : http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

A nouvelle version, nouveau fil. Les prochains événements concernant VLC seront donc regroupés ici. Stay tuned !

Et depuis 2.1, le bug qui faisait saturer le son en montant le volume au-dessus de 100% est enfin corrigé ! Ah tout de même !
Mais… Euh… Ah zut, c’était un bug spécifique à la banquise, j’me suis trompé de crèmerie… S’cusez-moi, je glisse sur les glaçons…

Très grosse mise à jour de VLC.
