Hot on the tail of news that Google released a video viewer based on VideoLAN's open source VLC video player is news that an updated version of said player is out for Windows and OS X users. In case you've never experienced the multi-featured, multi-format video goodness that is VLC: it's a video player that can handle just about any video format under the sun, and then some. DVD, VCD, avi, QT, WMP, mpeg, DV, DIVX.. you get the picture. (Sorry, no Real support. How's that company still in business anyway?) In terms of new features, (scroll down for a list) the updated player (version 0.82) features a full playlist rewrite, improved preferences, Mac OS X Tiger compatibility, a brand new Internet Explorer ActiveX plugin, a port to Pocket PC, mosaic picture in picture system, easy snapshots.. again, you get the picture.

I thoroughly appreciate VLC on OS X as it plays videos with absolutely no window border, (aside from a title bar) kind of like how Preview displays images and PDF's.

So go grab a copy and start enjoying video format one-ness.
