When VLC is the default player for viewing quicktime movies, and you navigate to a page with an embedded quicktime movie, such as Apple's trailers, an alert appears saying (roughly translated from Spanish):
Cannot find entry point for procedure __input_ItemNewExt in dynamic link library libvlc.dll
If you click accept, it keeps appearing again and again, preventing you from navigating away from that page.

Does VLC support Safari on Windows? Why is this not a VLC bug?
Victor Jalencas
I doubt VLC supports Safari for windows, since it was developed before.
What I'd expect, is Safari to just embed the quicktime player, and not try to use an external player that has not been successfully tested with it.

I'll inform the videolan team about this.
It seems like a bug in the API remained unnoticed causing this problem. Apparently FF is not that vocal about such a thing causing it to be unnoticed.

I've tested many embedded trailers in the latest Webkit r30236 and the latest Safari beta for Windows and found no problem. However you should notice that there is no control buttons provided by VLC. So the bug is FIXED.
