Bugs
There is currently a bug where unrar.exe will continue running for a few minutes after
running vlcraar.exe or rarplayer.exe, the fix for this would entail a huge amount of effort of which
i do not currently have the time for.
There is also a bug with seeking in VLC/MPlayer unfortunately this is not currently repairable.
Also VLC Media Player tries to to repair the file, as far as I am aware this is a problem within VLC that I cannot fix.
If you can be bothered fixing or just want to praise please pm me at the Vlc forums (Sparks).
