VLC 1.0 Released

I tried playing an .avi file today and VLC failed to play it only giving sound, whilst Windows Media Player played it fine, weird.

I only use it when I have to.

VLC always seemed to be prioritizing "functionality" before "quality". And as long as I have that swiss army knife called K-Lite Codec Pack installed cleanly, my PC rarely fails to play files properly. Therefore quality-focused programs such as BSPlayer comes first for me.

I'd be willing to be convinced that VLC is a quality player though.

ok finally installed v1.0, and i dont like it. sure, quality is better, but the controls are kinda messed up (no equalizer settings, like the headphone setting, that makes a huge difference). plus sometimes it gets stuck, which is really annoying.
i wish i could go back to v0.8, which is what i was used to.

I think I have the installer file at home.

for v0.8? i still have it too. but if you install v1.0 it doesnt let you go back. ive tried uninstalling v1.0 and reinstalling v0.8 but it doesnt work.
