I always loved VLC and will probably get an earlier version but with this version I am having playback issues. All the files are avi format but some play with no issues and some will start pixelating and having sluggishness in the middle. But when I play it on Windows media there is no issues.
So I will just get a earlier version.

I have used this media player software off an on over the years with mixed results. But overall it has been a great player for all video and audio formats particularly rare formats with rare codecs. This particular VLC player version is EXCELLENT! Its easier to use, it played every format I threw at it and the overall quality is better. I can say VLC v0.9.2 is the best release yet of this very versatile software. Up until now I prefeered to use PowerDVD, Windows Media Player, DivX Player and VLC Player to player different video formats. As I am so impressed with the quality of the latest VLC Player v0.9.2 it has become my default all in one media player for Video and DVD. Download and try it... you won't be disappointed. You can easily uninstall it if you don't like it.

What an absolute pile of sh*t!! It USED 2 have some promise, with the nifty tweakability - but of course, it was not an option as it couldn't even play MP3 files without skipping! Y the fuk do retards even release software that can't play MP3 out of the box?!?! Reminds me of KMPlayer, where half the settings tools don't even function (*they're just trying 2 conceal they have rolled FFDSHOW into submenus).
N E way, they have now succeeded into making VLC's EQ section utterly clunky & useless - much WORSE than before. It's not 2 say the player doesn't work. It's just 2 say it's utter GARBAGE compared 2 MPC or MPC-HC + FFDSHOW, or GOM. There are only 2 useful media player programs in the world - MPC, & GOM. Everything else is GARBAGE! (like this VLC junk) so believe me, don't waste your time. I've tried them all. Ideally somebody should roll a tab interface into GOM & MPC so instead of having 'docking' junk, just displays pages like a Firefox browser or whatever, such as 'EQ', 'Video' (& sub-tabs), etc :) That would B awesome!

A decent app, but no blu-ray support. For that we have to use the abominable powerdvd bloatware. Media Player Classic will play some blu-ray streams..but not the whole disc the way powerdvd does.

The ONLY media player I have found that plays EVERY video file I have thrown at it.
Full marks.
