That said, it's still the best 'free' player out there for OS X I've seen yet. Add to that the totally awkward menu to select where to play fullscreen-why not just play it on whatever display the window's in right now?-and overall I'm disappointed in this update. There should be a slider or something on the controller to scrub the audio sync back and forth in realtime. Wizards are kind of alien to the whole OS X experience, even though there are a few examples of decent, helpful wizards in the OS.Īlso, I notice the new VLC still doesn't have a nice way to compensate for audio desynchronization. (Those nine times are usually in Microsoft products.) You shouldn't need a wizard to set things up, or to create things-the options should be right there in front of you, and not require elaborate explanation. I'll reserve judgment 'til I've used it a bit more, but nine times out of ten, wizards are a usability disaster that are only marginally better than the abomination of an interface that necessitated them to begin with.
