Although, I seem to be having problems using it with iOS 4.2. Nevertheless, the VLC app is wicked good news.

This will get pulled from the app store soon enough. VLC wrote software that implements standards they did not pay for.

well done. I hope it will play other formats well but wouldn't bet on it.

whats pathetic here is that Apple is allowed to control whether or not a great app like VLC can run on your device in the first place. you own it. you should be able to do what you want to do with it.
