<div><font color="#000099">The latest few builds simply crash. vlc.exe crashes on startup. My application, built on libvlc, gets an access violation calling libvlc_new. Older nightly builds after 2007-11-26, that do not crash, do not play my divx files that played flawlessly using 2007-11-26 (except for the problem when using buffers of course. see here
<a href="https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/774">https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/774</a>). It would play well for about 8 seconds and then freezes (the video not vlc).</font><br></div>

<div><font color="#000099">I agree that positive feedback is one of the best reward for anyone working on open source. As a positive note: I have been doing work using VLC for about a 1 1/2 year now. I started using it as an external application that I controlled using HTTP (version
0.8.1), but now I am trying to move to using libvlc.dll directly in my application. Although I use VLC in my work, I soon realized that this seemingly small application (well, it is only about 2 cm high! :-) ) can play just about anything I throw at it without installing anything else (codecs). Now it is my player of choice for personnal use as well as what I use to develop a streaming application here at work.

<div><font color="#000099">I will take a look at <a href="http://trac.videolan.org">trac.videolan.org</a> and see how I can help through there. I have just recently found this mailing list through the forum. I didn't get too many answers through the forum for the past 1 1/2 year until recently someone answered one of my request for help by: try posting this on the dev mailing list! (Bless him!). I am new to everything regarding development here and I have been reluctant to jump too quickly on the bandwagon and simply filling reports of already known problems, etc. I still kindy feel like I am intruding. But I had an excellent exchange of emails through this mailing list with Pierre d'Herbermont which ended up with 2 additions that I am sure will not be only worthwhile for me but to anyone using
libvlc.See </font><a href="https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/changeset/23618"><font color="#000099">https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/changeset/23618</font></a><font color="#000099"> and </font><a href="https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/changeset/23606">
<font color="#000099">https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/changeset/23606</font></a><font color="#000099">. He as been just great helping out on these. I don't know where he is located (France?), but to be able to get these fixes in a matter of minutes after discussing with him on this list right from my kitchen table a very snowy morning here in Montréal has been a gas!

<div><font color="#000099">Just a note on would be OS bashes, if any. We can argue for hours how bad MS$ is but to me Windows and Visual Studio are what enables me to pay for my family`s needs. Sometimes choices are governed by real life necessities! :-) Unfortunatly libvlc is not the easiest to use in a Visual Studio environment, but I get by.
