BetaPlayer 0.5 Released
BetaPlayer 0.5 is released, hot on the heels of v0.096. I guess the rapidly increasing version numbers reflect the fact the product is rapidly maturing. Take a look at the linked site to see the Changelog -- picard has been hard at work and has integrated just about new modules in every aspect of the program. And let us know how it works. 8)

Does 0.5 include all the changes in 0.096? I'm a bit confused by Picard's version numbering...

I talked to Picard and a few CoreCodec Devels along with myself have taken on the Project Managing of BP so confusion like this ends. Look for this big change when we release then next milestone release. ... meaning 1.0 on.
Also on the horizon are some things that you all might wanna know, like;
- Support for Matroska Super Chapters (DVD Menus)
- Helpfile inclusion
- Skinning
- Audio mode
- Desktop mode
- Visualizations
- Options GUI clean-up
Download BP v0.5 here: http://betaplayer.corecodec.org
Download mirror site here: http://picard.exceed.hu/betaplayer/
Enjoy!

It's lightyears more advanced. Besides vastly superior stability, speed, and features, BetaPlayer supports hardware MPEG1 and MPEG4 video decoding using the Intel 2700G video chip in the Dell Axim X50v. Think flawless, non-skip DVD quality video in full VGA glory.

Has anyone been able to download this from the provided link above?
The site has been down for me for the past few hours.

I am a relatively new user and I think this is a great program. I have a question though. I have some wmv files and needed to load an asf plugin with .096. Will I need to do the same with .5? If so, does a compatible plugin exist?

Why is this confusing? 0.5 is greater as 0.096 so it contains all the goodies  I just didn't want to confuse 'stable' version users with a 0.1 version (compared to 0.04 version which can be read 0.4 easily)

asf plugin is included in main install. you should be able to play your file after the stable version is installed (btw 0.096 didn't have asf plugin either)
