Vlc player vs. Any player.

Ever since I've started to use vlc I've required no plug-ins. It's simple easy to use GUI (graphical user interface) stands out from all the rest. The only thing it lacks is a feature to burn songs which I don't need since I have a 2tb hard drive.

Also in a later post I'll mention my Diamond home media center. Nifty little device. Anyways back to the point Vlc will play anything you throw at it. Even .vob files that means you need no extra software. It has subtitle features as well as features to change the video format from 16:9 to whatever you like.

It has both audio and video effects, filters, and much more features that I've never even used up until today. Great player, un-like Windows media. Vlc is able to be ran on a linux machine. I've used this previously on Ubuntu. The one feature I find useful is the speed up and slow down button. Which works with both videos and songs.

Also a quote directly from their website to prove that I'm not spewing non-sense " With VLC, there is no need to continually update many different codec packs. VLC comes with nearly every codec built in!And whats more, VLC can play back your files, even if the media is damaged! Missing or broken pieces wont stop VLC. All the video and audio information that remains can be played."

If you would like to get Vlc you can learn more and download here.

Questions, comments, and suggestions are welcome!
