"The latest version does not display video."
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.1
Pros
Previous version worked great.
Cons
This version will not display video. I have gone back to the latest version of Quicktime Player which plays everything.
Summary
Very disappointing. I used older version all the time. Quicktime Player now plays all the formats I am using so I do not need VLC.

"good video player"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.1
Pros
Plays all the different formats I have thrown at it.
Cons
Sometimes it does a build font cache which takes a while. Not sure why.
-
"old version retained settings"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.1
Pros
plays new videos.
Cons
does not open some of my old .flv files. Reverts to small size but the old one did not when you come to the end of a video. Have to resize it.
Summary
last version was better. Can I get it back? How?

"Doesn't work at all on my mac."
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.0
Pros
none. It doesn't even work on my computer at all.
Cons
I have OSX 10.5. There is no sound, and no way to fix it. I am searching for old versions now.
Summary
Maybe it works on new macs and windows, but it doesn't do squat for me.

"Awesome app. You have to download this"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.0
Pros
Everything. Set it as the default for all of your video files.
Cons
There are no cons at all. Unless you don't play any media on your computer.
Summary
I downloaded this app at first so Handbrake would work on my mac and it turned out to be one of my most used apps. I download a lot of torrented videos and Quicktime doesn't support most of the files I play. VLC has solved the problems Quicktime has been giving me and works with absolutely no issues. Definitely worth downloading.

"plays various types of video formats"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.0
Pros
Plays everything I have thrown at it
Cons
Seems to take a while to do some font caches update, not sure why? Nothing else for now.

"LOVE IT SO FAR!"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.0
Pros
IF something does not play in another application, I just drop it in here and it plays.also like the CAPTURE feature, where you can take a picture of the movie while playing, you pause it and boom, picture
Cons
none so far
Summary
I have been using this for a while and like it and the new interface is cool
-
"Absolutely the best!"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.0

Cons
No complaints with new version
Summary
A must have!!

"New and improved but..."
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.0
Pros
VLC has long been a preferable choice over other media players like Quicktime for me due to its versatility in playing almost any media file. With its new GUI and some interesting new features this certainly wont change as I have yet to find anythin to compete with it.
Cons
However one small complaint I have to say is that they have adopted OS X 10.6's latest annoyance when it comes to trying to display media and other content fullscreen on another display e.g. a TV. This is that it will only display full screen content on your primary display even if you have e.g. a TV connected as a secondary monitor. Previously for VLC this was not a problem and one of the reasons I used it over other players, however now the only way is to make your secondary screen the primary (drag the menu bar across to your second device in display prefs).
Summary
Still a brilliant media player with improved functionality and compatibility, which I will continue to use despite the small annoyance.

"Not for Intel32!"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.0
Pros
Dunno. (need 5 more characters, dammit)
Cons
Not for 32-bit OS. Doesn't say that *anywhere* that I could find.
Summary
Intel64 says it all, but otherwise obscured.
