Comment (by RJVB):
New codecs that do not simply come from using a newer FFMpeg version?
Since `port:VLC` uses `port:ffmpeg` it already should support a much
larger number of codecs than the official build (which uses a restricted
ffmpeg build).
My problem with VLC 3 is that it no longer builds (nor runs) on 10.9 which
makes it off-limits for me for the time being because I still plan to put
off upgrading my ageing MBP as long as I can.
IIRC I discovered that the "hard" way after updating all my patches, and
I'm pretty certain I already mentioned it somewhere here.
The reason I became the designated VLC maintainer is that I need libVLC as
a runtime dependency for phonon. In my opinion that is also the only real
justification for having VLC in MacPorts, for almost any other use it's
probably better just to use the official build for which you can report
issues upstream (something you're not supposed to do with the version in
MacPorts).
