DVD Playback
Currently attaching DVD navigation and unscrambling modules into the main decoder plug-in, all the tests were done with perfect results.

Video Support!
Video playback is nearly finished for files (there are some things left like: DVD menus, CSS...), currently supports SubRip subtitles, DirectX/OpenGL video output, on screen display (OSD)...
There'd be lot of memory leaks and crashes, I'll upload a test version with video support soon. Please don't expect everything from it guys (specially from the OpenGL output), I hope those bugs won't appear on normal video playback.

Sorry!
Fixed link title 'Source Archive' of version 1.2 to 'Windows Installation". (There were two source code packages)

Video Support!
Currently I'm testing and implementing video support to the player (using FFmpeg). It's working cool right now but there are some quality issues (synchronizing and rendering).
There'd be an update soon, but it would rather be a test version.

Fixed Some Bugs
Found some bugs on the February 08th release and fixed them. Some of they were in ripping window and FLAC plug-in, you'll find it anyway... I'll upload the new package as soon as I'm done with packaging stuff.
