    VLC seems to play any sort of media a lot better than QuickTime (even with all of the codecs). Highly recommended.

    It's great in that it plays every format you can think of, but lacks a media library and Digital TV card support in Windows.

    VLC is the best! (excluding interface in full screen; I cannot understand why a so good software has a so bad interface; some expert in usability should help here)

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

  • N0xTrUm N0xTrUm 2 months ago 5 out of 5 Icon_thumb_up

    The best media player

  • Marman Marman 2 months 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
