VIVOOFFLINE V1.0B2
(currently in BETA phase)

Background  
-----------
  VivoOffline started as an experimental test of my own with Vivo Player OCX on Visual Basic 5.0. From it's early stages to this version there were two versions. All of them were distributed to friends and coleagues. Suggestions came in for improvment, BUG reports were generated and wish lists were ... well, wished.
What the program is today is a puzzle of all those ideas, unfortunately, and due to lack of time for development, the program still has some BUGs. But I'm sure that with time we'll have a nice little utility to play with and watch all those .viv movies that are stored somewhere on our browsers caches
 
Legal stuff
-----------

  After a series of talks with the guys at Vivo Corp. I managed to get permission to put my own version of Vivo player on the Net, available free of charge (connection charges may apply) to everyone that is interested in it. 
But (yes, there is a but) there are some procedures that must be followed in order to download my application:

You must download the Vivo Player from Vivo Corp. 
After the plug-in has been installed in your computer you can then proceed to download my application (1,9 MB) 
We've had  downloads so far. 
Now you're set to a whole new way to watch viv files. 
You only have to do this because I'm using portions of code from Vivo and they want to make sure that the player part is coming from their side.
 
Features  
---------

  So why should I download this piece of software ? I'll give you ten reasons why:

Enables you to play files locally 
Plays files in an enlarged format 
It has an Elapsed Time Indicator 
It has a movie Duration Indicator 
It has Percentage of movie played bar 
It has File selection 
It has a Playlist (still buggy) 
It's free 
It's fit with a nice user interface (thanks Pinhead) 
And ...works independently of your browser and you're supporting freeware 
As you can see now you just only have to download it and roll those movies.
