Hi
VLC is a freeware so you can use it without worry, but it cannot decode Real formats (until ffdshow reach to decode them IIRC)
on very last branch built it doesn't here (xp sp2)Moreover, italics and bold work PERFECTLY for me.
That's what i was wondering yes, but actually... if you have a Wireless mouse, a not a wireless keyboard, this way you can fully control the video at distance with mouse onlyi`m controling play/pause with the spacebar, don`t think that there is realy a button needed.
