Subtitle Edit - Video Player Test version

Subtitle Edit uses the Windows Media Player component included with Windows for displaying video. This seems to give some problems with (evil) codec packs but also sometimes with ffdshow - the WMP component just seems unstable:(
To solve these issues I've included three different video players - it's possible to change video player under Options -> Settings.

I think DirectShow (quartz.dll) is the safest choice... but let me know if it works or not!!!

Download test version
