Do you use vlc?

[brownninja97]

I was wondering how many people use Vlc. I helped to get my to use Vlc as they had windows media which refused to start 90% on the schools pcs. However many of you guys use it for music or video.

I use it only for videos, more specifically .flv and .mp4 files. I just wish the interface was not so grey! :lol:

 

PS- You may want to add a poll.

[Loe]

[SuperOwnJK]

XBMC for TV Shows and Movies because of its amazing Library features

I use MPCHC for videos and foobar2000 for music.

VLC has horrible sub rendering when special effects are added and doesn't play well with some codecs. Media Player Classic (CCCP) is much better in my opinion.

[SirReallySam]

I use it for DVDs and videos :D Not so much when it comes to music :)

[Guest]

Use VLC on my desktop, and for my laptop (OSX), i use Mplayer X which is fantastic!

[ShadyHost]

I disabled media features in Widows and now I only use VLC. Best. Software. Ever. 

[rustikles]

VLC for most all videos and movies, foobar2000 for music, and Plex for general media on the go.

Reduce the pre amp then, that takes away the clipping effect which no one likes.

[LDX]

Nope, I use Classic Media Player and also take advantage of their codecs for Sony Vegas

everyone should really ditch VLC for something like MPC-HC that has full directshow support and much more customization and utility.

[bosnian_guy]

For videos I use BS Player, and for music i use Windows Media Player.

VLC supports skins

[Richyo]

All videos i use VLC
Music i use foobar2000 or winamp

[solomongrundy]

used vlc once years ago...never again.  it's alright for testing purposes but i use MPC HC for media playback with LAVfilters. MPCHC plays everything out of box.

[Salmiakbal]

I see a lot of people giving VLC shit and that MPC HC is much better but I can't seem to get subs working on MPC HC so I use VLC. Can't see much difference between the two anyway

Use foobar2k for music

uninstall MPC-HC and and codec pack you have installed.

download the latest MPC-HC

everything should work stock right out of the box

if it doesnt download and install xy-VSFilter

add VSFilter Auto Loading version to MPC-HC's external filters list

set it to prefer and disable MPC-HC's internal subtitle renderer

restart MPC-HC your should be good to go in regards to subs.

[NazzzF]

VLC for secondary..Mainly Splash Pro and MPC+KCP

[silberdrachi]

I use VLC for video almost always, installed on every computer i have. But for Audio i have been trying just about everything because i dont like how it handles libraries/playlists. So answer to the poll is yes, but only sometimes.

[LAwLz]

I use Media Player Classic - Home Cinema with LAVFilter for splitting and decoding, madVR for rendering and sometimes xy-vsfilter for subtitle rendering.
I made a guide (it used to be a lot harder, including having to install things through CLI, to get the optimal video player setup) on how to do my configuration but these days the Kawaii Codec Pack is really good so you should just use that.

 

VLC used to be so horrible it was unusable, but then they fixed a lot of issues in 2.0 and now it's acceptable, but still not as good as MPC-HC.
