VLC 2.0.0 Twoflower disponibile
Dopo 486 milioni di download per VLC 1.1.x ecco che i team di VideoLAN e VLC annunciano il tanto atteso rilascio di VLC 2.0.0 “Twoflower”, la nuova major release del player multipiattaforma più amato di tutti i temi.
Twoflower si fregia un nuovo sistema di rendering per i video, sottotitoli in alta qualità e nuovo filtri per migliorare la riproduzione dei video. VLC 2.0.0 è anche in grado di riprodurre i dischi BluRay (funzione per ora sperimentale).
Questa versione va inoltre a fixare centinaia di bugs rendendo il player sempre più stabile.
VLC può essere scaricato per Windows, Mac OSX e GNU/Linux a questo indirizzo.
