As what the British would say "This thing is complete Rubbish". I always had problems with it crashing when I tried to play certain mov files and when I go to close it but now it always crashes when I try to play flv video. It is useless now since I have a lot of flv videos. I am done. I uninstalled this crud and I am sticking with the stable K-Lite Codec Pack with Media Player Classic.

It seems like the developers don't even care about the 90% Windows users and just focuses on the 10% of Mac users since it is updated more for them and all we get is crash buggy versions.
I agree, and have ditched vlc in favor of ZoomPlayer..

I need the new version as it's the only one that plays XDCam files though. Hope they fix it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21411486 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 16:10:27 EDT Re: [Update] VLC media player 0.9.6 for Windows Released http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21408566 dadkins : Thanks Blahh! :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21408566 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:49:11 EDT Re: [Update] VLC media player 0.9.6 for Windows Released http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21408446 ltsnow : Thanks Blahh. Here is the link if you want the exe or zip file:

Works great for flv files.

Edit: But that's about all. It still won't play ram files and certain wav files. Of course, neither will 8.6. IMHO, this player has had it's day. KMPlayer and SMPlayer are simply much better--will play absolutely anything you throw at them. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21408446 Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:13:39 EDT Re: [Update] VLC media player 0.9.6 for Windows Released http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21408163 anon :

This thing is getting worse and worse. Now it will not play .flv files which 9.4 at least did. Also will not play some .wav files. The old 8.6 is much better. Also I can never get into their forums to figure anything out.
What ltsnow said. I think we have a WinAmp situation here, wherein an older version remains forever better than the new tree.

Oh yeh, didn't they say a while ago that they didn't have enough people to work on the Windows's version? That could explain the problems. BTW, the new KMPlayer plays everything well, including ra and ram files. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21406470 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:15:44 EDT Re: [Update] VLC media player 0.9.6 for Windows Released http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21405813 tonyram57 : As what the British would say "This thing is complete Rubbish".

Thanks for the update! :)
Do you just install ontop of the previous version?
the installer will remove the old version for you, then re-install for you, right after.
