VLC media player version 2.0 “Two Flower” has been released and it brings major changes in its appearance and functionality. In my opinion VLC media players is the best, free or non-free, media player available for any platform be it Windows, Linux or OSx. The new changes only add for the betterment of the already better VLC player. The new version is laced with faster decoding, more video format support, better interface and (experimental) Blue-Ray support. Take a look at the new interface:
