sweet. love vlc. Yeah the default UI sucks. Heard their are skins available to make it look more respectable, never tried them though.

lol @ awesome sig.

vlc or buss for me the interface is minimal which i like never had a prob with it, i watching the vids more than the interface anyway

K-Lite Codec pack with the included Media Player Classic is WAAAYYYYY better.
Just so ya know.

[Berzerk]

no its not

ive used both and the audio quality and volume control is far superior in vlc...

and i always have klite up to date...also older rmvb movies dont work with the associated media player classic

Media Player classic fail compared to vlc. The sheer amount of options in the damn thing is astounding. Not to mention performance is top notch. I;m not liking so much the video quality of my 720p rips in vlc as opposed to windows media player under windows 7. WMP gives me horrible lag sometimes when seeking in a video file so is vlc ftw.

[Berzerk]

actually i was trying vlc with 1080p and 720 p rips, there are options in the tools/ effects and filters menu that gives you an astounding increase in visual quality...

and since you are using the same monitor as I i think you will reap my same benefits...

[Spazosaurus]

Hmmmm effects and filters? Not seeing that.

[Berzerk]

tried going into tools tab?

sometimes this site is like tech poetry in motion yes.

I use three

For general consumption (read the misses) windows media center. I run the output to the big screen tv, controller by a wireless keyboard. (some azzhole stole my ms media player remote control) OS is Windows 7, has an updated media center that works like a champ. A fancy front end to WMP but slick enough to earn a space in the living room.

For down and dirty vid clips, media player classic. (I like the seek in media player classic, more robust and incremental than in VLC)

When all else fails, VLC. I don't think there is a clip on this planet I could not play with VLC. lol

Well save for some nokia 3gp files that wouldn't play with audio, had to get a special 3gp player for those but that is super rare. VLC really handles just about every and anything, out of the box. No codec packs, nada.
