One thing that VLC Mac developers really want is testers! There is too few testers. This a job that can be done by any guy who want to try a new software. That's not an easy job but that's a valuable one!

MPlayer. I had some videos that wouldn't play with VLC that would play with MPlayer. (They were encoded with Nero Recode.)

mplayer is great and I use it as my primary video player, but I can understand why one would prefer VLC -- it's much more friendly, even if you use the GUI for both.

Also, mplayer and VLC are helpmeets in my system; sometimes VLC can play something that mplayer will choke on, and vice versa. VLC is a valuable resource indeed.

I'm feeling the same way. Maybe it's time to learn Obj-C. Might give it a try.
