Description
One of the useful features of QuickTime Player is that it allows you to open multiple videos at the same time, by having multiple player windows ("New Player" from the File menu, or shift-clicking in the Open dialog). If you opened two videos in QT Player, for example, it'll open up two windows, loading one video into each player. This has come in handy several times for me, for quick frame-by-frame comparisons.
Both videos don't necessarily need to be playable at the same time, although that too would be useful. It'd just be nice if I can open up several videos at the same time in MPlayerOSX Extended, scrub through each video using the video controls on each, and compare them side-by-side. Right now, I have to keep multiple copies of MPlayerOSX Extended on my hdd, and open up a new instance of the application for each video.

That's not going to be easy. Basically it should be feasible with the current classes but I see a lot of issues popping up since MPlayer OSX hasn't been designed for it.
So, priority isn't high on this but I also think this would be useful.
