Looks like you missed my previous post giving quotes from Apple, Adobe, nvidia, and Microsoft. Please email these software and hardware companies and ask them for proof to back up their statements.
It's not our responsibility to provide hard numbers and other proof for a well known fact that is universally agreed upon by everyone involved.
Because with VLC you wont have to stop and convert the files, or lose quality by transcoding.
The Nokia N900 version of VLC supports hardware decoding, do you have any evidence the iPad version will not?
If this can play an MKV....
Please, please, please!
How cute. I bet you think the only thing you can use Bittorrent for is pirating movies, too.Orange™;11027765 said:So you can watch your pirated media? Get out of here.
forget that apple approve this, apple would even love to kick vlc from osx
VLC developers claim that Apple is working against them: "Apple doesn't want us on the Mac platform and is blocking us a lot, and refuses to explain why."
the only reason apple approved the opera browser is because opera applied pressure on apple by starting this win contest and apple knew the media would be too bad, when they reject it...
I hate apple for being like this, they don't allow apps when they are afraid that they are better than their build in apps, that's why google voice get rejected...
we have to start a "apple approve vlc" campaign, when it gets enough media hype, then we have a slightly chance to see vlc on ipad...

Hmm, I've never heard of Apple rejecting apps for the Mac platform. This isn't the same as the iPhone or iPod Touch in regards to the app store.

The VLC developer who said that was talking out his butt. When asked for a follow up, he said that Apple hadn't done anything to "block" VLC, they just wouldn't list VLC in their downloads section on their website. See the last paragraph here: http://www.osnews.com/story/22629/VLC_for_Mac_Death_Greatly_Exaggerated_
Opera wasn't rejected as a browser because it doesn't break any of the rules. It doesn't run any code (you are basically downloading interactive pictures of websites from Opera, not actually browsing the web).
Apple won't let you have your own rendering and JavaScript engine for security reasons.
