YOSHINATSU 1.0.3 seems more stable, but I'm on 10.6.1, and me and a friend of mine have both encountered a weird problem with .mkv files. There are certain .mkv files where VLC just takes 1 minute or so to open them, or just crashes. That alone made me switch to Mplayer, since I have A LOT of .mkv files and I love them.

MEGAS88 I found the solution to this problem last night in the fourms. Check out the last post here. I'll put it here just in case. Now mkv's open almost instantly for me like they should. http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=44346&start=30 Re: X264 .MKV file on VLC... cannot play, help MAC NOOB!! New postby EvoIce on Sun Nov 01, 2009 2:14 pm Hello I recently stumble upon this Thread while having trouble with Playing 1080p mkv video on VLC version 1.0.2 on my Macbook Pro 2.6 ghz 4 gb ram 8600M GT 512mb. While looking around I found that you can change how VLC opens MKV files, in the pref>input/codecs>Demuxers>Matroska. one of the issues were with long load times on big mkv files. Their (VLC forums') solution was to untick the preload Directory box, which didn't solve the problem, so I started playing with the preferences. I found if I unchecked all the boxes except for "seek based on percent not time" the video plays flawlessly, perhaps not flawlessly but it doesn't crash! Please tell me if this has worked for you, or what prefs did you change so that it works, Thanks

FLAVUM I have the same problem as you. I believe that many of the crashing/freezing problems are related to subtitles. I also have many mkv files, and some of them open and play fine until I turn on subtitles under the Video menu. Then the movie freezes, forcing me to quit (or force-quit) VLC. Earlier versions didn't exhibit this behavior (prior to 1.0.2).

YOSHINATSU Unfortunately, this didn't happen to solve my problem... :(

DR. GIRLFRIEND The crashing problems seems to have been fixed (yay!), but it seems to be using a bit more memory than previous versions (85 - 95MB in VLC v1.03 vs 23MB in MPlayer Extended rev 1210). Thanks for the update, devs. Good job.

MONKEYJUNKEY Version 1.0.3 is out and it is (currently) "only" 32-bit. Which is not a problem. 1.0.2 64-bit always crashed on me. 32-bit was fine. So just f*ck it! And use 32-bit 1.0.3. We'll see how that does, but 64-bit never worked for me. Also, their homepage is a bit messy with old versions flying around everywhere...

UMAROMC Yeah I noticed the MIA 64-bit version as well... although the 64-bit version worked fine for me. I personally never noticed a performance improvement over the 32-bit version.

JON555 I don't know why there's so much hate towards VLC. It's an awesome player that is incredibly easy to use. You don't have to spend hours messing with settings and junk like that, audio/video is very excellent out of the box. It's feature-rich, free, and consistently updated. It's plays just about everything, and plays it well. It (on some rare occasions) has slight issues with subs, but again, those are rare. This is a fantastic player. Keep up the awesome work devs!

DR. GIRLFRIEND I don't see any hate here, just people reporting various problems. That's a good thing, since it helps contribute to the program's improvement. :) Nobody is denying that VLC is an awesome app or that the devs aren't to be commended (it is and they are), but from the comments I've read here and elsewhere, it seems version 1.02 wasn't a very stable release.

MISHA I am definitely getting a ton of crashes with 1.0.2, even just opening files sometimes.

DONG-YOUNG VLC is now unusable for me. I hope these problems are fixed.

MISHA There's a lot of discussion in the VLC forums about the instability. A lot of it is caused indirectly by 10.6. Subtitles crash VLC all the time, so disable subtitles in Preferences to avoid that. That fixed a lot of my crashes.

BLACKSMITH_TB I've tried downloading the 1.0.2 plugin from three different places, but they seem to install the 0.86 version of the plugin. Am I missing something?

AN.ONYMOUS VLC 9.10 doesn't work on my PowerBooks Pro Intel with OS 10.4.11. I can hear the sound but no image is displayed. This does'nt happen with the 8.X versions of VLC. Any suggestion (other than shifting to Leopard) most welcome. | |

YOSHINATSU Not so stable on 64-bit mode on 10.6.1. It works just fine in 32-bit mode, but 64-bit, nah... Maybe not just yet.

ST00P!D M0NK3Y Same issue here... works in 32-bit mode... stinks in 64-bit. When I try to quit a video file while it's playing in 64-bit mode it either freezes or crashes. Doesn't do that in 32-bit mode.
