If that doesn’t do it for you, VLC Media Player 2.1.0 Rincewind fixes around a thousand bugs, so that in itself is the only reason you need to update.

This is good news for the millions of people that use Intel HD Graphics with QuickSyncVideo Encoding (Intel Media SDK) as this build gives you hardware support. The key feature is that Rincewind brings hardware assisted video decoding and encoding to OS X 10.6+, Android Jelly Bean and GNU/Linux platforms and Windows PC hardware. Rincewind has a new rendering pipeline for audio, with better effiency, volume and device management, to improve VLC audio support.

After two years of work the VideoLAN team today announced the release of VLC 2.1 Rincewind! With a new audio core, hardware decoding and encoding, port to mobile platforms, preparation for Ultra-HD video and a special care to support more formats, 2.1 is a major upgrade for VLC.
