Title: Wow, Videolan is the best multimedia player
Post by: Mondain on July 12, 2007, 07:58:20 PM
It plays every damn obscure video format out there! To install Windows Media Player 11, Windows asks for this installation to be "validated", which I'm not willing to do. So I looked for alternatives that can play WMV files and all sorts of codecs.

Media Player Classic is good, but it seems unstable at times, and there are certain files that it mysteriously won't play.

I recall Videolan as being even more unstable a few years ago, but now the latest build seems to be allright. It will play ANY video file, well nearly everything that doesn't mandate you to install an XviD or a DivX codec. It's a veritable swiss knife.

Get this in a hurry and give up on that WMP POS

Every dude with obscure porn files already knows about this player.

VLC sucks. The interface is HORRIBLE. I pause something, and it takes fucking 10 seconds to pause.

...maybe that's because your PC was made in the fifties :(

That's funny, because every one else I know says that vlc sucks for the same reason. Plus, every other media player works just fine. My pc is pretty good. The only thing I need updated is the graphics card.

meh, I'd say Videolan is good, ten seconds to pause WMV videos must represent some pretty good computing performances for a computer based on vacuum tubes like Himuro's

Can you take screenshots with it? Or make the video your background? I love doing that.

10 seconds is an exaggeration but seriously, VLC blows.

Yes.

Himuro's parents probably long for him moving out, but only because they can't wait to get four or five different rooms back.

Jotaro, here is a tip off. My mpc can play pretty much any file because of CCCP.

Himuro's parents probably long for him moving out, but only because they can't wait to get four or five different rooms back.

No, they take up 4 to 5 rooms. I use only one.

I just googled "CCCP"

The CCCP : Combined Community Codec Pack is a filter pack specifically built for playing anime.

You guys are fuckin' fegs.

I've never had a problem, but maybe that's because I've never tried to watch ANIME on it.

Word.

CCCP is good for everything. I don't know what anime has to do with it. It puts every single thing on your computer that you need to view pirated video.

vlc can also stream vids for you, which is pretty neat.

If you could marry the video capabilities of VLC with the user interface of BSPlayer I'd be in heaven. VLC is an ugly reminder of why Linux and most F/OSS doesn't catch on.

VLC is shit.

Try GOM (http://www.gomplayer.com/main.html). Easy to use and it plays everything.

Is this a fact?
