Here be the reaction from #darkhold (the channel where encoders camp and sometimes discuss about encoding)
[20:03] whut vlc 1.0 [20:04] vlc 1.0 out? [20:04] ITS out! [20:04] lets see if they fixed libass as promised xD [20:04] it IS [20:04] hmm [20:07] wow CoalGuys Toradora!'s OP2 finally works as expected [20:07] too bad p doesnt work [20:08] what does p do? (does it work in mplayer?) [20:08] pigoz: its CoalGuys tho so it doesnt really matter [20:08] pigoz: no, p doesnt work in mplayer [20:08] actually it sort of does witht eh REALLY latest shit that hasnt been committed to mplayer yet [20:08] anyway p is for vector drawing [20:09] * Raijenki is now known as Cannan_is_my_waifu [20:09] ah I see, is it used to typeset signs right? You usually cover the sign with your colorfill [20:10] let's see if vlc works in windows 7 yet [20:10] the RCs didn't [20:11] lol got first crash just now [20:11] what did you try [20:11] seeking into an haruhi episode [20:11] * Mikun2 is now known as Mikun [20:11] with ordered chapters or not? [20:12] no it should be a normal one [20:12] vlc has always had enough problems [20:13] pigoz: well you can typeset without p [20:13] like using clip and LOLhueg outlines >. [20:13] but p is used for particles and most other kara effects [20:14] it's handy for a few other things too, like vector clipping [20:14] please wait while your font cache is rebuild. [20:14] OH FUCKING LOL [20:14] ^I lol'd [20:14] it still fails to load softsubbed MKVs under Win7! [20:14] HAHAHAHAHA [20:15] "please wait while we consult starks as to the best way to make you cry" [20:15] whut vlc 1.0 <-- whut [20:15] oh shi [20:15] they finally got there [20:15] it opened it after all! [20:15] just took like forever [20:15] have they fully incorporated vsfilter [20:15] and do they do segment linking etc. [20:15] high-bitrate H.264 decoding still fails [20:16] how so [20:16] lolblocking [20:16] also seeking is still as broken as before [20:16] now I seem to have lost the audio [20:16] hnn [20:16] hmm [20:16] works after seeking again [20:16] lolvlc [20:16] mplayer is soo much better, but hey they made some progress [20:17] also it fails bigtime at segment linking [20:17] it just jumps back to file start if you try to jump between chapter points on an ordered chapter MKV [20:17] and obviously fails to include OP/ED [20:18] also they really seem to have made the pause instant [20:18] only took like forever! [20:18] also audio still jumps a bit when pausing [20:18] hahahahahahaha [20:18] guess what [20:18] when it reached a point where a linked segment should have started [20:18] it jumped back to the beginning of file! [20:18] * JJS[out] is now known as JJS [20:20] * Cannan_is_my_waifu is now known as FMR [20:28] sounds like a real winner release [20:29] I might grab it later and write some rage idk [20:29] lolblocking <-- how can they not even be at reference level [20:29] hurf, not in arch repo yet [20:30] actually, the 1.0 release really does deserve it's name [20:30] "goldeneye" [20:31] true [20:31] because using it feels like playing an FPS from 1996 on a shonky controller with shitty graphics and a terrible processor, and it breaks at chapter changes [20:31] New HD codecs (AES3, Dolby Digital Plus, TrueHD, Blu-Ray Linear PCM, Real Video 3.0 and 4.0, ...) <--I lol'd [20:32] so BD has a different LPCM to everything else, k [20:32] and Real is HD [20:32] Video scaling in fullscreen <--always a good feature [20:33] the downscaling is still shit though [20:33] everything gets horribly aliased [20:34] * Emess waits for x264 to do something that breaks VLC [20:34] then again they'd lose their hosting [20:34] I bet there'd be tons of places willing to host x264 instead [20:34] and there's also always sourceforge [20:36] I guess the videolan umbrella has its good points in, say, GSoC or git hosting with a mailing list. IIRC the x264.nl is mirror-based anyways
Draw your own conclusion (tl;dr: still crap)
