• Simply awesome

  Haggstrom8/14/2017

  Pros

  The only player I've found that lets you play all the video file types you need, with all subtitle file types you need, and without stuttering playback. Features subtitle track synchronization and lots of video filter options.

  Cons

  Not the built-in video player on Windows, but I think that's Microsoft's fault.

• Destroyed my speakers

  wavingflag201612/26/2016

  Pros

  It has most features you need from a video player. I used to love it (emphasis on used to, as I have now uninstalled it).

  Cons

  VLC has a feature to increase the volume up to 200% which I used to play some movies where the sound was too soft. However there was no warning that this would destroy my speakers. Neither VLC reverted the amplification back to normal when starting to play a new video / audio file. The developers state that the software can't increase the volume beyond what the sound driver can produce. True it won't increase the voltage output beyond 100%. Instead it amplifies the quiet sounds while clipping the louder ones. So instead of a nice smooth sound wave that your speakers were designed to handle it produces a square clipped sound at 200% amplification. And your speakers AREN'T designed to handle that. It's so bad that Dell and other laptop manufacturers will have your warranty voided if they find VLC installed on your computer during repair.

• Amazingly compatible media player

  davinkauf5/14/2016

  Pros

  I have been using this player from the start of time. Works great on both Windows and Mac. 1 Amazing compatibility with various different formats 2 Easy enough UI and simple 3 Not many crashes 4 Playlist capability 5 Run full screen and control full screen

  Cons

  1 Playlist capability could be made easier to use 2 When running in full screen, it would be cool to get a hover over list of files in the playlist.

• Very useful

  OJB5/5/2016

  Pros

  Plays stuff that other video players don't know what to do with.

  Cons

  Interface is a bit clunky.

  Summary

  If the video file will play in QuickTime Player I will use that but VLC is always there for the tricky stuff.
