iPhone coding whiz ZodTTD has finally release vlc4iphone to the public. The last release was back in September - the v1.0.0 Beta version. Ever since then, he's been a bit of a dilemma due to the appearance of mplayer (which ZodTTD admits is a better player, performance-wise).

That's not stopping ZodTTD though, as he assumes that some users would still want to use vlc4iphone's unique features like the ShoutCast Internet radio browser/player, or the ability to stream video and audio content from PC to iPhone.

Some notes from ZodTTD about vlc4iphone v1.6.0:

In this release I have fixed many bugs, including the dreaded bug that caused many people not to see video in the last beta release. Some codecs (RTMP for instance) are still missing, and depending on the demand for them, I will add them and update to a later VLC version as well.

The only drawback is performance of videos of resolutions of 640x480 or greater. What I've done is lowered the decoding resolution of many formats of video at this resolution so now you are able to be play them at decent speeds. The quality of the picture suffers however. I suggest users of vlc4iphone to use videos of 320x240 resolution if possible.

The download should now be available through Cyndia's Multimedia section. For more information, you can head to ZodTTD's website to contact him and maybe even donate to his cause!
