Pros

This program played a DVD that other player programs would not give the time of day to.

Cons

It would be nice to have a true "full screen" with just the movie showing on the screen. (If it does have this feature, I will find it eventually.)

Summary

I am just starting to use this program and I love the fact that it can play my MTS movies and DVDs. Great program so far!

Pros

Worked the first time with .flv files which I had tried for an hour trying to get something to open. Windows Media kept crashing and nothing else I had worked or crashed. This opened it immediately the first time and not planned to do, but it was able to open a second video while the first was playing...not bad for free!

Cons

none so far that I have expereinced

Summary

Looks great so far...opened up all my videos without crashing...i'm happy!

Pros

It's a player and it works.

Cons

Controls...

Summary

Just about everything on modern computers is controlled by a mouse. Not VLC. Play/Pause is a Space bar... Seriously??? And no option to re-assign it to the mouse either. I desperately tried to like it but with this "I must sit at my desk when I watch anything" attitude of the developers is just not working for me.

And yes, you can: 1. move your mouse to view cursor; 2. move it down so that the controls become visible; 3. Locate Pause button and click it; 4. Upon resuming wait until cows come home for the controls to disappear from the screen... etc. Or... Click - instant Pause, another - Resume as it works in, say, MPC-HC. MPC-HC maybe unstable at times but it's far easier to live with. In fact, the only reason VLC is on my PC at all is that it's default player for Subtitle Edit... I wouldn't bother with it otherwise.

2016-03-20 08:50:33  |  By martin_c_e

Pros

VLC Player can play squeezed (4:3 over the air digital TV or from SD recorders) MTS and TS files in the correct aspect ratio of 16:9. Cyberlink PowerDVD 12 and WMP can't. (Win 8.1 versions). The internet radio list is impressive and useful.

Cons

The skip ahead and back buttons need a 30 second forward or backward instead of just 10 second buttons.

Pros

Works well with nearly every type of video file.
Wide range of support from online forums.
Low resource usage compared to other programs

Has a hard time handling .mov files in my experience with no solution found in online forums.

Summary

It is the Toyota Corolla of video players. It does everything its supposed to , and it does it well.
