Since the defective 1.0.9 download has not been replaced with a good compile version the best solution is to recompile 1.0.9 using the latest SVN485 which also fixes a bug in the “audio delay” setting option, so that any vids that really need to be adjusted for bad sync may do so.
WIIMC has undergone 120 changes and 10 upgrades of the player since 1.0.4 and 15 more changes since the 1.0.9 release and I can verify that its virtually error free performance makes its implementation more than worthwhile.
This is real easy to do using the instructions in the “Expanded Windows Compile Guide” in the Development forum http://www.wiimc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=489 and it opens the door for you to use other patches to further enhance your WIIMC.
