Beware that you are quoting the VLC 1.1.0 changelog here. VLC 1.0.3 does not work on N900 or not well at all.
Yes, we are aware of it.
The confusion exist because along with the changes of the 1.0.3 at the same changelog they put also the changes/improvements for the v1.1.
In any case 1.0.3 is now complete and 1.1 is the next version coming.
1. No need.
2. Are you saying that it's the same thing as 1.6Ghz VIA C-7M?
1- Ok.
2- In a logic way (one cpu vs one cpu) it is the same but mine would be only faster by 200mhz but in performance it isn't. You can't compare cpu's in this way.
Anyway, to get into the point. Last time I used VLC on my intel m (celeron) It didn't have any problem with it (&this was with an old vlc version) so can be compared with your VIA CPU.
Just before hitting "Submit Reply" , I want to tell it wasn't really necessary to post all your screenshots to tell us that you dont like VLC.
Since we've taken it there, can you tell me how to integrate the video output into the control UI in Linux? In Windows, it works just right, but on Linux Mint, it gives the video output in a separate window from the playback controls. I tried adjusting the settings, but no cigar. It really annoys me.

That's surely because how farly inferior it is compared to MPlayer. sudo apt-get install smplayer, you'll be surprised in a positive way.

Use the same version as the one that works for you on Windows... probably anything 1.0.0 or later.

ok, I think I didn't understand what you mean here.
If I get it right, you just played with your vlc settings. Go to tools->performance-> 1- Click on reset or 2- check the box "Embed video in interface" *you will find it in interface section*
if you are talking about making a desktop (like no3) for vlc then you just go to desktop#3 and start vlc with full screen + with compiz you can notice it will be as part a big cube (if you enabled that plugin)
Your advice is dead on, but the effect isn't the same. It STILL outputs to a separate window. Not sure why. I installed right from Synaptic, so not sure what the deal is.
@christexaport Are you using Ubuntu 9.04? The Ubuntu folks messed up on that one such that it uses a separate window. This is not the case in 8.04, 8.10, or 9.10.
