Great update! Im so excited about the faster decoding, can open more file formats including HD and experimental Blu-ray support, think now I need to do less convertings with iFunia, and just watch my videos with VLC 2.0 smoothly!

Full screen support for dual monitors suck. with MplayerX you can watch a video on one screen and work on another but not with VLC 2.0

WARNING WARNING WARNING VLC 2.0 will mess up Handbreak. So beware one or the other has to work together to fix it but as for now TimeMachine saved my backside!!!

Version 2 has lots of bugs or problems. Dual monitor setups just do not work properly. They did in version 1.1.2.

Can this do anything that Movist can’t? I love Movist, especially because it allows me to control the playback speed, which almost no other video player does.

Does not stand up to my expectations yet and I do not think the new interface it was worth the fuzz.
Still plays most formats and renders multi language subtitles better than the rest.

I agree. Although I like VLC, MPlayerX is definitely a fast loading player. I have not problems playing any video on it yet.
