VLC 1.0.3 Release Candidate and Windows 7
2009-10-22
The VLC developers are very glad to offer you the
first release candidate of the third minor update of the popular
"Goldeneye" version of VLC.
This version brings a few improvements and fixes,
and especially fixes an important issue with Windows® 7 that worsened
the video quality of the default output of VLC. As Windows® 7 will be
available today, the windows maintainers of VLC wanted to sync with
this release.
This release candidate provides also updated
translations, new deinterlacer filters, fixes for the interface and the
WMA Professional support on Windows. Please test this release candidate and report bugs. Windows binaries are available.
Update: Binaries for Mac OS X are available here.
VLC is Compatible with Windows® 7
2009-10-10
The VLC developers are happy to announce that the latest version of
VLC, 1.0.2, has been tested to meet all of the technical requirements
to be Compatible with Windows® 7. This means that VLC is tested for
compatibility and reliability on Windows® 7, has passed Microsoft
designed tests to minimize the possibility of crashs, hangs, and reboot
and installs cleanly and reliably.
While this shows that you can
have confidence in installing VLC on your Windows® 7 installation,
there are still bugs on the visual quality, depending on your video
driver. See our wiki for more details.
