VLC 0.8.6 Released

h2g2bob writes: "VideoLAN yesterday released a new version of VLC media player. From the blurb:

Building on feedback from the 29 million downloads of VLC media player 0.8.5, we bring you version 0.8.6 with many bugfixes, as well as a couple of new features we think you will truly enjoy. Most prominent are probably Windows Media Video 9 and Flash Video. Other important changes are improved H.264 decoding, better Windows Unicode support, a Fullscreen controller and Apple Remote support for Mac OS X.

A shout out also needs to go to ffmpeg for many of the codec improvements."
