-When you download VLC media player, you will end up with a VLC-0.5.x.dmg file. Double-click, or drop it on the application Disk Copy, to open this file. An icon will now appear on your Desktop, right beside your drive(s). Open it and drag the VLC application from the resulting window to the place where you want to install it. Most often this is the directory Applications on your main harddrive.\

-VLC media player is currently unable to read SVCD directly from the drive. SVCDs contain plain MPEG-2 files which can be directly read. Just copy the .dat files in the SVCD onto your hard drive, and use the "Open File" menu item in VLC. Some SVCDs can be read if you tell VLC they're VCDs, in the "Open Disc" dialog.\
+To view a (S)VCD, DVD or Audio CD, you will need to choose "Open Disc" from the "File" menu. Choose your disk type and then choose the drive in which you inserted the disk.

\f1\b \ul 6. Where can I find an older version for Mac OS 9 ?\
-\f0\b0 \ulnone There is no version for Mac OS 9. VLC is originally a UNIX application and has never been ported to Mac OS 9. Considering the amount of differences between Mac OS 9 and modern systems, it would require a tremendous work to port VLC. We do not plan to do it, because we prefer to focus on creating a very good Mac OX X application. So please don't ask.\

\f1\b \ul 9. Support for files with subtitles.\
-\f0\b0 \ulnone Support for subtitles in separate files is still very much in a testing phase. DVD subtitles can be used trough the Controls->Subtitles menu-item.\
+\f0\b0 \ulnone Support for subtitles in separate files is still very much in a testing phase.\
+- DVD subtitles (not experimental) can be used trough the Controls->Subtitles menu-item. Subtitle files NOT. Read on for those.\
- Subfiles need to be opened at the same moment as the video to which you want to add subtitles. You can do this in the File->Open menu.\
- As of yet it is not yet possible to adapt the font, size and/or position of the subtitles.\
- You need to specify the subtitle when you open the file.\
- A subtitle is global instead of bound to a playlist-item. This will be fixed in a future version.\
-- Only MicroDVD, SubRIP, SSA1-4 and vplayer subtitle files are supported at the moment.\
-- Subs can only be added to .avi and .ogm movie files at the moment.\
-- Don't bug us asking for the features mentioned above.\

+- Subs can only be added to .avi files. .ogm file can have subs included into the .ogm file, these should work as well.\

-\f1\b \ul 11. How do I enable deinterlacing ? \
-
-\f0\b0 \ulnone You must select the "Deinterlace" menu-item before opening any file. If the item is selected while reading a file, nothing will happen. This is a known issue, please do not report it.\

- AC3 over SPDIF with M-Audio Sonica Theater does not work. This is most likely a driver bug which has been reported to M-Audio.\
- Many problems might still exist. Multiple channel audio support is pretty new on Mac OS X and there are many bugs in the system software, the device drivers and probably in VLC media player as well.\
