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.
