VideoLAN @videolan App Stores were a mistake. Currently, we cannot update VLC on Windows Store, and we cannot update VLC on Android Play Store, without reducing security or dropping a lot of users… For now, iOS App Store still allows us to ship for iOS9, but until when?

    I have been in digital media production since the mid 2000’s professionally I know more than you think I do.

    I promise you in 2007 most people did not have the ability to edit 1080p unless it was highly compressed and they invested in their machine in a way that most didn’t.You are acting like everyone had $1500 machines, which they most certainly did not, and would be near the minimum folks need to invest to even begin editing 1080p footage with any regularity. The storage alone was a financial hurdle and the 5DII, which back then even made FHD capture possible for most people, didn’t even come out until what? 2010? And it was highly compressed 4-2-0 H.264.

    Your pc from 2007 cannot hang in 2024 with most FHD video, which is basically the bare minimum now. 720p is barely tolerated anymore.
