This update of this famous multimedia player could be considered as a major update due to the inclusions that have been carried out in this version 2.1.0. Recall that perhaps this VLC is one of the most famous players due to its very high compatibility with various file formats when it comes to being able to reproduce the content without errors.
Among the new features added we can see a new fully rewritten core audio, offering new audio outputs for certain operating systems such as Android, iOS, Windows Vista or OpenBSD, improved support for multi-channel formats, new audio effects and support for new audio metadata formats.
Also included are improvements to hardware decoding and encoding support for different operating systems compatible including Android as well as new video and audio codecs such as G2M4, MSS1, TSCC2, CDXL, Ut in the video and audio part, Ulead DV audio, Indeo Audio Coder and RealAudio Losless codecs.
There are increased compatibility with MKV container with metadata support and ASS subtitle enhancement, a version for Android 2.1 and later and of course for iOS from version 5 to the current one is also included, as well as support for Microsoft Smooth Streaming.
But among all the novelties, perhaps the one that attracts the most attention is its 4k-ready capacity that will be the future standard for 'ultra'-high definition especially for gamers. This new version is now available for download from the official VLC website totally free in .dmg format for Mac.
For me it is the number one option since if you have a fairly current team, you will have no problem when it comes to playing heavier formats and you know that you are doing it with the most complete option.
