    A very good media player. Like Graphicconverter for Audio/Video

  • N0xTrUm N0xTrUm 21 days ago 5 out of 5 Icon_thumb_up

    The best media player

  • Marman Marman about 1 month ago 5 out of 5 Icon_thumb_up

    Simply put the one of the most amazing piece of software ever, if not the best ever. If only there is support for MIDI it would be perfect.

    Only worthy competition are 'ffdshow' filters, which seek Flash videos properly

  • DeclanTM DeclanTM 2 months ago 5 out of 5 Icon_thumb_up

    Great media player, handles more or less any file you throw at it. More powerful and flexible than QuickTime even with the Perian plugin installed.

  • Simon Vreeman Simon Vreeman 2 months ago 5 out of 5 Icon_thumb_up

  • runaway runaway 2 months ago 5 out of 5 Icon_thumb_up

  • oneLessCar oneLessCar 3 months ago 5 out of 5 Icon_thumb_up

    Very good. Interface is fine and FAST, don't make it like Media Player garbage!

  • Mosselman Mosselman 3 months ago 4 out of 5 Icon_thumb_up

    Awesome at playing anything, however it's interface is horrible. The people at LAN should look at how Media Player Classic works.
    Still I have to say, I use VLC a lot because of the fact that it plays anything, if it doesn't play in VLC its broken.

    It's an awesome player, as long as it supports Divx formats I'll be using it. It may not have the interface of Divx Player, but it also doesn't have the terrible lag that Divx Player provides.
