    Great

    the drag n drop re-ordering of the playlist (which seemed to have been disabled in 1.0.2) now works - kinda

    However a problem still remains
    select several files (in the playlist) ...

    drag n drop them (again somewhere else in the playlist)

    oops !

    RE: Fatbas**** -- it IS called Betanews.com, not StableRelease, but Beta.

    Anyone who wants to can actually download nightly builds from the project home.

    I do wish that BetaNews actually included some "news" about what is new with each beta instead of merely posting the download.

    VLC is the only media player anyone will ever need. Fantastic program.

    I think betanews should wait to publish files until the program is officially released. On their homepage VLC still offers version 1.02. Version 1.03 isn't official yet and might never be the official version.

    Best Video Player till now, those who say that it is the worst they should go and check their eyes, but I like the media resize feature of Media Player Classic which I lack in VLC Player or else Its the best which I could find till now, when I find that I can set the video size custom, then I'd give it a 5

    I agree with chinch. I unloaded WMP long ago because of all the codecs needed to be installed just to play some videos and then some videos wouldn't play anyway. Where I think you are wrong chinch is saying ppl have crappy PCs. That may be true in some cases but I would bet that most ppl aren't playing the types of files you and I are. True, VLC has advanced options which make my head spin also, so I just set it to default. Anyone who says VLC player has terrible video quality might want to check their monitor instead. How much clearer can a video player get than VLC? I presume there might be a better player out there, but VLC is the only player anyone should ever need to play video on the fly, period.
