Existing users, 
I had problems when first installed & replaced old VLC 0.8.6, it was crashing & no playlist or video screen working, what I did that fixed it was - in VLC preferences main window, click "reset all" & ok. Quit VLC, Then launch "Delete VLC Preferences.app" which is is the "Goodies" folder in the DMG. Relaunch VLC & hope it works!
I've been checking it on various avi & audio files & so far it's fine......
It does actually tell you to do this if there are problems in the "read me"
I think part of the problem is that they've changed the preferences system
which is better now but if you have prefs from previous version it messes things up. They should have checked this before release - it's not a beta
btw I'm on PPC/OSX 10.4.10
