VLC Media Player is the most popular and robust multi
format, free media player available. The open source media player was
publically released in 2001 by non-profit organization VideoLAN Project. VLC
Media Player quickly became very popular thanks to its versatile multi-format
playback capabilities. It was aided by compatibility and codec issues which
rendered competitor media players like QuickTime, Windows and Real Media Player
useless to many popular video and music file formats. The easy, basic UI and
huge array of customization options have enforced VLC Media Player’s position
at the top of the free media players.
Flexibility
VLC plays almost any video or music file format you can find. At its
launch this was a revolution compared to the default media players most people
were using that often crashed or displayed “codecs missing” error messages when
trying to play media files. VLC can play MPEG, AVI, RMBV, FLV, QuickTime, WMV,
MP4 and a shed load of other media file formats. For a full list of compatible
file formats please click here. Not only can VLC Media Player handle loads of different
formats, VLC can also playback partial or incomplete media files so you can
preview downloads before they finish.
Easy to Use
VLC’s UI is definitely a case of function over beauty. The basic look
does however make the player extremely easy to use. Simply drag and drop files
to play or open them using files and folders then use the classic media
navigation buttons to play, pause, stop, skip, edit playback speed, change the
volume, brightness, etc. A huge variety of skins and customization options mean
the standard appearance shouldn’t be enough to prevent you choosing VLC as your
default media player.
Advanced Options
Don’t let VLC Media Player’s simple interface fool you, within the
playback, audio, video, tools and view tabs are a huge variety of player
options. You can play with synchronization settings including a graphic
equalizer with multiple pre-sets, overlays, special effects, AtmoLight video
effects, audio spatializer and customizable range compression settings. You can
even add subtitles to videos by adding the SRT file to the video’s folder.
Summary
VLC Media Player is quite simply the most versatile, stable and high
quality free media player available. It has rightly dominated the free media
player market for over 10 years now and looks like it may for another 10 years
thanks to the constant development and improvement by VideoLAN Org.
