《MacOSXアップデート》VLC 2.0.1 へのアップデート

純正ソフトとしてMacOSXに組み込まれても良いほどの定番、音楽、動画を再生、取り込み書き出しも出来る VLC がメジャーアップデートです。現在使用中のバージョンが 1.1.12 ですから二段階アップになります。ダウンロードされるファイルのサイズは、42.3MB とちょっと大きめです。インストール後のアプリケーションは 115.5MB から 134.2MB になります。

新しいiPadが登場して、iOS対応がVLCでも盛り込まれた模様。これまでシンプルなインターフェイスを守り続けていた感じがありましたが、いよいよ変化をするのかも知れませんね。

前回のアップデート以降、ファイルによってはエラーが帰って来ていましたし曲のつなぎ目がおかしい再生をしてしまったり、何か良くわからなくなっていましたが古い環境との互換性はすっきりさせても良い頃合いではないかしら。
