And Apple takes another leaf out of M$s notebook. Guess it's time to admit defeat and get a PC?

Over these retards making every thread a mac vs pc thread. Many alternatives to VLC. Will b sad to see it go, but doesn't mean ur current version won't work.

VLC will still work. It's not like the DVD spec changes you n00bs. It's all muxed MPEG2 files.
DVD Video has been a fixed standard since the 90s.
As for playback of video, Matroska support on VLC was always lame. VLC still plays all the H264, AVC, DivX, xViD, MPEG2 content out there.

Please explain?

This is quite a strong statement. How is Apple "blocking" them?
Personally, I don't use VLC much. I use a DVD player and TV for watching DVDs and Quicktime + Perian copes with all my video needs on my MBP. I keep MPlayer around for the odd thing that doesn't work, but I don't recall that happening much, if at all, over the last two years.
No need to bust out in .
I still use an older version of VLC in Windows because I prefer it. You guys will just have to stick with what works. It's not like you've ever been on the "bleeding edge."
Except I believe you either invented the mouse or GUI (or both). Did we ever thank you for that? Well thanks (again)

Guess, I'll have to check it out. I've been using vlc to watch .mkv's mostly.
Well VLC will still work. There is no need to panic. The current version on your machine will still play .mkv!! Its not like they can click a button and delete it from ur machine!

The DVD Player app is "nice" but very limited, also if you have the internal optical drive removed it will refuse to work, you need to hack(luckily $ sudo nano ... is something I'm used to because of my Linux experience so it's easy for me.) the app to allow external drives without an internal present. Another fail is no DTS support, VLC plays DTS perfectly on my macbook with the DVD app it's just silence.

Except that's a completely unsubstantiated claim at this point. I thought you might know more about this.

Apple probably coming with a new player that will blow VLC out the water
QuicktimeX 1.1? that's a fail then.
