For anyone experiencing crashes after updating:

1) Quit the application if it is running
2) Delete the VLC folder in /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences
3) org.videolan.vlc.plist in /Users/USERNAME/Library/Preferences
4) org.videolan.vlc.plist in /DRIVENAME/Library/Preferences

This worked for me. Someone named the racing geek posted it on his web page.

Yikes!! - Version: 0.8.6f, 4/16/2008 09:01PM PST

0.8.6f actually froze my computer while playing a movie (I think on my 2nd monitor). YMMV, this was using an older G4 with OS 10.4.9. Nothing, and I mean nothing, has managed to do this to my computer for years. I've reverted back to the last stable and smooth VLC version (for my setup at least) and that's version 0.8.6c

Since version d things have been going downhill for me, this is getting scary because I love VLC. :(
