Multiple Videos, On Multiple Buffers, with 1 Instance?

How would I go about doing this, I've read that a lot of people are having similar issues, I'm wondering if anyone has been able to work-around this, and render two or more videos at the same time, seem-less-ly, or am I going to have to wait for libVLC to repair this bug? (as I'd be just as happy creating several instance, but it appears even that doesn't work!);

My current issue, is that even though I have 1 working instance, 2 working textures, and 2 playing videos, both video buffers point to the same data buffer, and so you'll see both videos playing on top of one another, every other millisecond you see video A, and every other time, you see video B!

Please, oh please, help me out.. =|

Multiple instances should work in LibVLC version 1.1.

uh, they work, but it still wants to write to the same buffer; if im wrong, then i'm prolly not using 1.1 and in that case, where can I get 1.1 , cus its not listed here : http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

*bump*
for anyone who actually knows how to have either 2 instance's which use 2 different buffers, or 1 instance, which uses 2 different buffers.

I already told you. LibVLC 1.1.0 can do that with one instance per player. In earlier version, the configuration was shared across instances.
