[annodex-announce] VLC 0.7.2 released with Annodex+CMML support

[André Pang]

Hi all,

VideoLAN's VLC media player[1] 0.7.2 has been released, with support 
for Annodex and CMML out-of-the-box.  This marks the first release of 
an open-source media player with Annodex support!  For developers who 
are working with Annodex technology, VideoLAN provides a robust, 
cross-platform media framework which you can use for your own projects: 
see the VLC developers' webpage[2] for developer information and how to 
build it yourself.

there's also been extensive coverage of the VLC 0.7.2 release by many 
Macintosh news websites (since VLC is quite a popular application on
