Equalizer bug - Version: 1.0.5, 1/31/2010 01:08PM PST

Glad VLC is still being developed, it's a great program. They need to fix the bug in the Equalizer, where the 170hz slider works backwards: move it up and the 170hz audio softens, down and it gets louder. Should be a simple fix but it's been hanging in there a long time.
The good one o even best one!

This is an attempt to summarize what is going on with 64-bit VLC and the VLC project in general. Thanks to all who have posted here at VT with related information.
There actually is a 64-bit version of VLC. It works perfectly with applications that require it, such as the 64-bit versions of Fairmount and HandBrake. Here is where you can download it:
http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/1.0.2/macosx/vlc-1.0.2-intel64.dmg
Note that this is not the latest version of VLC. Nonetheless, for the time being this is the one and only 64-bit version of VLC for Mac. Personally I would use the latest 32-bit version for just about everything due to the fact that it includes security patches. Keep the 64-bit version in place for 64-bit apps that require it.
What's going on:
The VLC project has run out of Mac developers and requires new volunteers in order to continue development for Mac OS X. The project has stated that there may be no further VLC for Mac once the project updates to v1.1.0. And yes, this would be a travesty. (Every comment I've read to the contrary has been ignorant in some form or other). VLC is a requirement for many of us on Mac.
However, there is a new VLC branch project dedicated to updating the Mac GUI that might have some promise. It is called Lunettes. You can keep up with the project's progress at these pages:
http://wiki.videolan.org/Lunettes
http://wiki.github.com/pdherbemont/Glasses
http://github.com/pdherbemont/Glasses
Unfortunately, the Lunettes project does NOT solve the entire VLC for Mac problem. From what I am reading, Lunettes is only a GUI project, NOT a core coding project. Rémi Denis-Courmont from the VLC project notes, for instance, the need for volunteer Mac developers who are able to support of the new VLC video output architecture. Therefore, the future of VLC for the Mac remains in jeopardy. If you can help...
