On November 17, JP Saman, perhaps the top VLC maintainer, will be giving a lightning talk at ETechDays and answering questions about VLC on the OSD2. See the lightning talk page for more information.

Of course, you can regularly find jpsaman on the #neuros IRC channel too if you have questions. The DaVinci 6446 is a great little processor and the OSD2 should become a replacement for the OSD1 as the framework issues get resolved. There are lots of products in the market based off the 6446 processor and it will continue to have a place in TI's line for some time to come. There's even support for flash 9 on the chip. So, if you don't need full HD (1080p) support, consider looking into the DaVinci chip and the OSD2 for your applications/projects.
