This could be the start of something good

like all xulbased apps it shouldn't be hard to port it over to different oses

EDIT: Thanks Blinkn for pointing out my grammatical error

I'm Interested in helping out. Any Programming Language like C++ I am currently learning but I can help out with graphics and documentation if you want

Yes some good graphic desined is needed. Docs are also welcomed though there is not much to document at the moment. Besides video decoding and display, most functions are implemented in javascript which doesn't need compiling after modification. (unzip xulplayer.jar)

btw: All the source code is available in SF.net SVN.

I am delighted by this new developement. If you need help I will look for bugs and request new features

Maybe you want to make a subforum for it?

I'm considering whether to setup a new forum on http://xulplayer.sourceforge.net or add a sub-forum here.
About the development, I think I will add some interesting features to it, like video playback benchmarking, and dual video playback (useful for comparing transcoded video with the original side-by-side).

Well in my personal opinion You should set up a forum there. And if you are going to use phpbb try phpbb3 I've been using it since beta 1 through to Rc3 and no problems with spam
ps if you want to add me to the xulplayer team my username in sf.net is thibeaz

I like that idea.

Looks good, the duel video playback would be a very very nice feature. such a hassle comparing two different encodes of a video with current free software. Im all for a subforum here less pages to bookmark that way lol.
