Heh... yeah, I figured I'd switch it up. I was going to put a shot from Life on Mars of Battlestar Galactica, but I thought more folks would recognize Family Guy.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Runs perfectly on Vista Ultimate.
Excellent work! I haven't noticed any differences yet, but we'll just have to wait and see...

Keep up the good work, Mr. Haller!

I have downloaded VLC Portable 0.8.6f and I placed additional skins in the skins folder, but when I go to skins menu only skins2 appear.
I can´t change the skins.
Thank you

The bookmarks window still doesn't run properly, especially with video. It's not visible unless it's maximised and that makes it overlay the video window (so you can't see the video)>it's been like this for a long time.
