ReleaseDC(..) takes 2 parameters instead of one (hWnd and HDC). After adding the 
hWnd, it compiles fine.

I am running Vista Business on a Athlon XP 2600+ with a ATi Radeon X800 Pro.
-vo gl did work for me before this patch, and as far as I can see nothing 
changes after applying. So maybe this "black window" problem is only relevant 
for Nvidia models.

The OpenGL support from ATi on Vista is quite bad currently, which causes video 
playback to be kind of slow motion. I hope the issue will be fixed soon by ATI.
