>   After a long, long, long while, version 0.2.60 of the VideoLAN Client
>(vlc) is out. A lot of new features have been added since the 0.1.99
>series, and the program is faster as well.

>   Amongst the hot news, we now have MPEG 1 support, direct DVD support,
>encrypted DVD support, fast forward and slow motion, hardware YUV
>acceleration through the SDL library, arbitrary seeking in the stream.

>   Check this screenshot to see the new, working interface:

>   We lost a few features in the process (TS input, GGI, plain X11,
>framebuffer output) because these modules haven't been ported to the new
>client structre yet. We are all working on this.
