Happy american Happy independance day everyone. Here is a sort of Happy independance day gift for you all.

Version 4.01 is inteded to be a bug-fix version, closing any loose ends from v4.00. Since there are hardly any core-changes, I'm proceeding straight to the release candidate phase. Hopefully a final 4.01 will be ready in 2-3 weeks.

Changes from v4.00 final:

* AC3Filter profile for Customized DVD filters.

* H264 profile for Customize Media Mode using the VideoSoft decoders.
http://www.videosoftinc.com/decoders.html

* Skin files can now be grouped within directories under the Skins dir.

+ Workaround for certain versions of the NVIDIA ForceWare (NVDVD) v3.xx
filters not working with Zoom Player.

+ When the main window is minimized, opening a new file through an
external program (such as explorer) won't make the window reappear.

+ MPEG2 Transport has been given its own path in customized media mode so
that you can pick a different video decoder for standard MPEG2 and for
MPEG2 Transport. Since the formats are essentially the same, the
distinction is done by the file extensions of the playing files
(TS/TP/TSP considered MPEG2 Transport, every other extension is assumed
to be standard MPEG2).

+ The Red Error dialog now resizes to fit the content of
the error message.

+ Switched to a different EXE compressor.

- Filter Blacklisting was broken in Zoom Player Standard.

- When not logged in with administrator privlages, a user should still
be able to see which decoders are missing on the system and which
decoders are currently installed for the various formats.

- Color Controls were not working in DVD VMR9 Windowed mode.

- Aspect Ratio with certain WMV files (T2:UE, Taxi3) should now work
correctly as long as you use VMR9 as the video renderer and disable
the "Fix VMR9 Scaling Bug" setting (Advanced Options / Filter Control).

- The "Auto-Get Duration for Media Extension" value didn't save properly
under some conditions.

- When using Inverse Scene Cut, the current file would play in a loop
between the cut segments instead of moving to the next track.

- The filter versions shown on the Formats / System dialog were for
the wrong files.

- Fixed a few cosmetic glitches with the Windows XP theme.
