Hello Kenneth. Thanks for your support for my suggestion, but
obviously, it is going to take more than just the two of us
for any change to be implemented.

Regarding your current issues with VLC, they sound quite
nasty. You don't mention which version of the Mac OS you are
using, but I am wondering if you might have to go as far back
as 0.86 on a PPC machine. That is the latest version that I
can use on my ten-year-old G4 running Tiger 10.4.11. On my
27" 2.8 GHz Quad Core i7 iMac, I compile the very latest
version of VLC on a regular basis.
