Video Lan Client, the nigh-indispensable open source media player for multiple audio and video formats (MPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, Divx, ogg, etc.), was updated to version 2.0.4. The new version, a 43.3 megabyte download, adds the following fixes and changes:
- Rework of the Mac OS X interface.

- Fix video output on old Macs, notably PowerPC and GMA950 intel Macs.

- Support for HiDPI, aka Retina Display.

- Translations updates and new Scottish Gaelic translation.

- Fixes for splitted RAR, MKV segmented, mp4 and Real media files playback.

- Rewrite of the Digital TV module on Windows.

- Enhancements in HLS, Blu-Ray and various codecs support.

- Fixes for subtitles auto-detection.

- Fixes on Qt, skins2 and web interfaces.

VLC 2.0.4 requires an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 or later to install and run.
