VLC Version 2.0.0

With faster decoding on multi-core, GPU, and mobile hardware and the ability to open more formats, notably professional, HD and 10bits codecs, 2.0 is a major upgrade for VLC.
Twoflower has a new rendering pipeline for video, with higher quality subtitles, and new video filters to enhance your videos.
It supports many new devices and BluRay Discs (experimental).
Completely reworked Mac and Web interfaces and improvements in the other interfaces make VLC easier than ever to use.
Twoflower fixes several hundreds of bugs, in more than 7000 commits from 160 volunteers.

Like to mention if others haven't noticed but don't install the plugins for either activex or mozilla. It caused unintended attempts to load a video rather then download when using Firefox. So until they fixed it not to load but download I left off the plugins for both IE and FF.
