VLC 1.1.0 is Out – with 32/64 bit Support!

This morning I saw that VLC 1.1.0 was out, and thought I'd give it a look-see to see if they had picked up enough Mac OS X developer support to be able to build a 64-bit VLC on Mac, as I'm a huge fan of Handbrake, and it needs the libdvdcss that's included with VLC - but I needed the 64-bit version. Up till now, I've been using the last 64-bit build of VLC which is the 1.0.4rc release - quite old.

So this morning I downloaded 1.1.0 - which claims to be 32/64 on the web site, and then open up the app wrapper, and look. Holy Cow! it's got the FAT binary for libdvdcss which is now i386 and x86_64! Incredible! I'm able to replace 1.0.4rc with the latest shipping 1.1.0 and still keep the 64-bit Handbrake.

What a luck break for me! Super glad I checked.
