"The latest version doesn't work properly"

Nothing whatsoever.

"A must have !"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.0
Pros
Still the best video player with a new interface.
Cons
Be careful. the link is for 64 bits computers only. You have to the official site, download section to find a 32/64 bits version.
Higher video bit rates in transcoding are not proposed (max. 3072) -
"Crap experience!"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.0
Pros
Don't know if there are any pros
Cons
Get a message telling me "You can't open the application VLC because it is not supported on this type of Mac"
Summary
Really helpful! I don't think so.
I saw the CNET email notifying the arrival of the new version, read the reviews, clicked to download as I do whenever a VLC update comes along. It downloaded. I clicked to install but it appeared as the traffic cone with a NO logo (white circle with white diagonal line across it) and I thought they must have changed to logo to distinguish it from the old version. During installation it asked if I wanted to delete the old version. I clicked on yes. Now it's gone. There seem to be versions for systems going back as far as OS9 so why it won't open on my OS10.6 I have no idea and it's not telling. Can't find any discussion of anyone else having the same problem so will have to dump it, try to find somewhere to download the old version that worked and forget about all the advantages until someone explains to me what Videolan is doing wrong. Most unhappy about the time wasted. -
