If you are one of the millions of VLC users, you should check for new releases because the development team has just provided an update that brings improvements to all supported desktop platforms.
VLC Media Player 2.1.5 brings stability improvements for the QTSound capture module, while also implementing a number of improvements for the built-in decoders.
For example, this new release includes a code update for DxVA2 decoding of samples that require more surfaces, while also improving MAD resistance to broken MP3 streams.
The development team claims that VLC 2.1.5 fixes a bug that blocked the app from renaming MP3 files that have been converted to .RAW and fixes transcoding when changing audio formats.
Naturally, all these improvements apply to all desktop versions, so it doesn't matter if you're running Windows, Linux, or Mac OS X. As you can easily guess by reading the lines above, there are no visual changes in this version, as most improvements have been made in the background and concern performance and stability.
