Comment (by scarface-one):
There's more to it than just new codecs. VLC core supports a whole lot of
new features, like passing though HD audio, better support for some
containers, support for BluRay menus, chromecast, etc. That makes it very
useful. I'm not sure about VLC 3 not building on 10.9, but I assumed that
macports would let you maintain an older version of VLC without
complaining?
My biggest reason for using VLC through macports is that I'd rather let
the package manager manage programs. I dislike the idea of each and every
application having its own updater and updating framework, when all of
that is the packagemanager's job.
