Fantastic product. I can't believe something so capable in two different types of media is free - Version: 1.0.3, 12/4/2009 12:36AM PST

I figured sooner or later they'd stop and move on to bigger and better projects, but the group behind VLC keep putting out better and better versions. Truly a tremendous product. The fact that it is totally free is truly amazing. One of the few real values onlie that actually doesn't cost a cent! (though you can donate)

There's a 1.0.4rc 64-bit (which I'm now using) and a whole listing of 64-bit versions... which you'll also need if you intend on using 64-bit Handbrake.
