    I love VLC player. Awesome that they updated it, and with the GPU usage, it will continue to be my #1 video player. Thanks for the update, guys!

    Can't agree, installed it on a Win 7 machine and it's buggy as hell. Which is doubly annoying since I run it on an UBUNTU machine and it's great.

    I've been using VLC on Win7 since the Win7 beta and haven't experienced any problems. Perhaps it's specific to your configuration? If you're referring to the latest version of VLC, the GPU acceleration has some issues with AMD video cards which, according to the changelog, should be worked out in the 1.1.1 release.

    Since I'm trying to transition over to UBUNTU as much as possible, it's not that big a deal. I'm running Win 7 on a Refurbished Gateway with dual core and an Nvidia GT7300 card. Unfortunately the board will only take 2 gigs memory, max.

    VLC works swimmingly on Windows 7, and has since pre-beta editions of Windows 7.

    I prefer Media Player Classic's Home Cinema fork, though.

    Update:

    Today on the VideoLan news archive, they stated that they have successfully tested a patch that will bring VLC up to 1.1.1, which corrects the problem with ATI Radeon cards. The patch will require the upcoming Catalyst 10.7 in order to work.
