    Bug reporting system is HORRIBLY BROKEN.

    I've been using VLC for over a year now. It's fantastic. I use it mainly to play ripped DVDs off of the hard drive.

    However, I ran into this bug and tried to report it through VLC's proper channels -- CAN"T!!!!

    Problem -- can't playback a DVD with 4 channel audio properly. Program accidentally switches rear surround channels with front mains -- and vice versa.

    Test DVD: Rescuers Down Under, Robin Hood Men In Tights.
    System: Vista Ultimate x64

    Thats it, I can't take the flaws of this player anymore and it seems they don't seem to care about fixing them because they have been the same build after build. It will play just about everything which is good but the image quality is not very good when put side by side with other players. One of my biggest gripes is that when you pause playback it doesn't pause the video right away but the audio pauses. This is the only player I've ever seen do this and because of it it throws audio and subtitles out of sync with the video.

    Still does not remember the last folder used despite claims that it has been fixed on their forums. I have tried every nightly and this player still defaults the open file dialog to MY DOCUMENTS as opposed to the last folder used. 2/5 because this bug is highly annoying.
