The VideoLan team has upped a first test version of VLC Media Player 0.86b which happens to be my favorite media player. The new version fixes some crashes, adds VP31 decoding to Windows platforms and Direct3D Video Output modifications for Vista compatibility. You can download this version right from the VideoLan ftp site; Simply select the version for your operating system (Win,Mac,Linux) and install it. I had no problems using the new version. If you experience crashes you might want to try this new version out.

I’m currently taking part in the tvu player beta program and would like to write a few words about it and offer some invites for the beta program. The tvu player beta has the version number 2.2.1 and the only changes that I discovered were the updated channels list which seems to hold some more channels and the log file which seems to hold more information than before. The beta page recommends to upgrade the media player to windows media player 10 for best results and i suggest everyone who is having troubles with the picture quality to upgrade the media player.

The multimedia player Bsplayer has been released as version 2.0 today. I was using previous versions of bsplayer and was really satisfied with it. It had some minor problems and I made the switch to VLC media player and plan on using that one even though the new version of bsplayer has been released.
