But I want to use it to watch many formats of media file.
Just a very simple reason.
"I'm bored with using many kinds of player."
I would not consider splash as my player if it can't play rmvb.
Today I can use some external codecs that include HD decoder for other players.
Why do I choose splash?
Good performance for HD media is its superiority.
But "multimedia" would be close to what people need.
Thanks.

I have received a email from Mirillis.
"We consider using external codec for rmvb support but it will still need some development and we have very tight schedule right now."
I'm glad at the news.
Yes, that's my meaning.
You don't need to develop rm decoder for splash in the interim period.
Just let external codec support it.
Then you can maybe plan to develop a good performance of rm decoder in the future.
It's brutal.
I think many people often watch rm or rmvb files.
Splash will lose certain market if it can't play rmvb.
And mightily I wish it supports unicode.
It's better if many skins could be choosen.
Is splash compatible with windows x64?
I see that you said, "DVD playback will not be available in first release of Splash PRO yet."
Oh~ >_<""
I like zoom player.
Because it has strong direct show filters & splitters for audio/ video.
It can use ffdshow. That lets it play almost all formats of media.
But no its own decoder is its defect.
Splash is opposite to zoom player.
I appreciate splash has its own decoder for HD media.
Splash could block the filter of external codecs for HD media.
In fact, not only rm file......
I wish splash would open up some limit of its filter function.
Let it play other formats of media that mirillis doesn't develop its decoder yet recently via external codecs, like real alternative, elecard, mainconcept, cineplayer, powerdvd or windvd decoder.
I think it's effective.
We will be able to play rm, dvd...etc.
Many requests would be solved.
My ideal player is the synthesizer of splash and zoom player.
