VLC 0.9.0 OS support

Release

The release of 0.9.0 is closer, and we have many nice stuff to show.

However I have sad news for old OSes:

We are dropping support for:

  • Mac OS X.3 (panther)
  • Windows 98/ME (Windows 2000 is needed now)
  • BeOS

Sorry to tell you that.

VLC media player and GTK

Switch to Qt4

As many of you know now, VLC main interface will switch to Qt4 for many reasons that we have already detailed.

GTK issues

Many GNOME users are not pleased because of the differences between the look of Qt applications and native looks of GNOME/GTK application.

Solution

Trolltech has made a new QGtkStyle that uses GTK to design the widgets. Then you can have a VLC using Qt that seems exactly like any Gtk application.

VLC 0.9.0 and subtitles support

This is a short post about subtitles support in VLC.

Current support

As it is released, VLC doesn't support a lot of subtitles, especially the text based ones.

Moreover, SSA/ASS subtitles script don't get all the styling they need.

Development support

Some work has been done so farĀ :

  • USF complete decoding
  • HTML improvements for styling
  • SSA/ASS complete rewriting
  • Ogg/Kate support
  • AQTitle support
  • MPSub support
  • MPL2 support
  • RealText basic support
  • PowerDivx support
  • DKS support
  • SubViewer 1.0 support
  • JacoSub basic support (no styles yet)

Conclusion

I know it is not enough and it has come late, but we are catching up :D
