It crashes after a few seconds on my system. I still use VLC_20050924_x86_bin.dmg. This version works perfectly.

Same problem here, I use the same version as urig-herb it works perfectly for me with no dropped frames at full screen

Thank you geo2002! Let's update and see what's happening.

Do you still need QE / CI support to run it?

It works without QE/CI but it's very very slow!!!!!!! I have to watch DVDs with half size to have a watchable frame rate! But it's the only chance to watch DVD on an unaccelerated machine at all!

If you have OpenGL HW support the framerate is perfect. After i got OGL working with my 7500 videos plays correctly.

As usually, VLC crashes after short time. I hoped that this release is better than previous. sad.gif

Same for me, I can't understand why the builds made by the official team are so buggy whereas my old build from Lamer_0 (made in the first weeks of OSX on x86 story) works quite well. Is Lamer_0 so strong ?

Same here. Lamer_0 (VLC_20050924_x86_bin.dmg) works perfectly while other versions crash in a short time.

same here on ATI 9600 pro. No problems at all. Best edition for now.

Hmmm, strange.
For me it's working like a charm. But so did the last one I used (0.8.5 test3).

I 've tested 0.8.5test3 version just now and it crashes like release. sad.gif

Have you tried deleting the preferences files (org.videolan.vlc.plist and VLC folder from user/Library/Preferences)?

Maybe the crashes are related to not having QE and CI (a wild guess, don't throw the rock at me smile.gif )

It crashes after several seconeds on my system too,The version test4 works well.

Working like a charm here.

Ok, I figured it out. The new version crashes always with output module "quartz-video" enabled. With standard output in works flawlessly.
So my question is if quartz video output has any advantages. Does it have better rendering quality? It also seems that the processor usage is a bit lower with new version and standard rendering.
