VLC on iPad: Fail for now

The Good:

It will play those old AVI of mine and those TV Episode AVI that I download once in a while when I miss a recording on my DVR.

The Bad:

The application feel very beta.  This is understandable as the team wanted to produce a simple application and see if Apple would approve before investing [...]
