Watch all South Park Episodes legally online
What's the best way to fight illegal downloads and streams of your tv shows? It could be to offer them for free on an official website. That's probably the same line of thought that the creators of South Park had when they created a website called South Park Studios together with Comedy Central.
The website offers full episodes of all twelve South Park seasons; The best news is that they are freely available for a worldwide audience and not only US viewers. The image quality of the South Park stream is excellent, the actual resolution of the picture is 640x480 which is almost double of what Youtube is currently offering.
They seem to run a script that is checking for the country of the viewer but it seems like it is being used for advertisement and not to block viewers from viewing the episodes.
The language of the South Park episodes is obviously English. Some of the newest episodes can't be streamed just yet and you receive a notification when they become available. South Park Studios is an excellent way to watch South Park online. I did add it to my bookmarks.
Update: The contents are limited to the US again but the creators have made available the shows at least for some countries on localized sites where they can be watched in English or the local language. This is for instance the case for Germany where you can watch all Southpark episodes in German or English.
Note that new episodes are added to the sites whenever they air on national TV. You currently find all sixteen Southpark episodes available on the sites. Note that advertisement is displayed before the videos start to play. This is not a big issue though considering that you get to watch all the episodes for free on the site.

Why not make use of the mplayer.conf?
Huh, I have never even seen this “font cache” pane; videos play at once for me, using VLC & XP SP3.
Mike, in theory this should have only been displayed once to you, at the very first video that you played with VLC. The time this window is displayed depends largely on the number of fonts in your font directory.
huh, I lucked out for a change?? Amazing!!
Apparently VLC keeps this info through version updates, but I didn’t see this message after a fresh OS install about 8 weeks ago, & a new VLC.
yes, yes, i have the same problem. sometimes, VLC crashes when it is playing .mov file.

Great tip, thanks a lot Kishore.
@Kishore, I’ll try your tips, but does this mean it will no longer show subtitles either?
I do use subtitles, but the fontcache dialog box pops up (almost) everytime I play a file.
Could this be related to the fonts I have installed? Or if I add/remove fonts to my system?
I’ll try to do a fresh install also, if your tips does no work. I’ll post back here later…
/thanks

@ Javier, The trick i posted will show up subtitles too. If not,
@ Javier, The trick i posted will show up subtitles too. If not,Dont worry, VLC is currently sorting out this issue and the next version will be out soon.
No probs @ Martin !! Its my pleasure
Try running LC with administrator privileges. That seemed to fix it for me
I am using SMplayer 0.8.6 (64-bit) (Portable Edition) on Windows 7 x64. Even with the -nofontconfig parameter in place SMplayer still scans the fonts. Also, I have enabled normal subtitles and it is still scanning fonts before playing a video. Also, it does this every time the player opens a video after a system restart (only the fist video played).
Does that mean that only instrumental versions of songs will be available for non-paying users?
