VideoLAN is an excellent multimedia player with it's own plugins for playing different formats, so it doesn't need any codecs to be installed. It works great for previewing partially downloaded files too as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.

Changelog:
This version is aimed at fixing security vulnerabilities in the Active X plugin and the Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) library which affect VLC media player 0.8.6c and lower. For more technical details see our ADVISORY (http://www.videolan.org/sa0703.html). Improvements in this release include better Video Output compatibility on Mac OS X and Apple Remote support on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Please note that Mac OS X 10.3.9 is no longer supported.

That's odd, the win32 folder was there a second ago, I guess they're still updating it.

everything appears to be good now... once u click the link just goto the "win32" folder and get the .exe file

or use this.... http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/videolan....8.6d-win32.exe

does it fix the issue where all your video locations (like c:videomovie-name ) appears in IE ???

You should post this download link instead: http://www.videolan.org/mirror.php?file=vl....8.6d-win32.exe
to use mirrors more wisely...

Tried this for a full day, playing various file types. Still has problems synching when going foward and back in some videos. I'll stick with Gom Player.
