"Overall, this is the best media player I have used." Not only better sound, but more versatile.this program could play media that others could not. Nothing against this program.

"It plays everything you throw at it!" It plays just about every file that I have tried (which is a lot of different video files from many different sources). It also gives an option to fix video files if they have indexing issues. That is something that crashes many players... I have nothing to complain about this software. One of the greatest pieces of software I have ever downloaded. Cant beat the price either...

"I guess I didnt like it as much as you guys did" Plays almost any kind of media file cumbersome for novice I prefer the GOM player right now

I was sent a .mov file I was told that vlc would play as my WMP would not. Down loaded it and it would not play it. An error message come up at which point I unistalled it. This is something I cannot recommend as it would not work for me. When I downloaded and opened it, I did expect to see an open window as you get when you open WMP, and was surprised when I did not. Instead I was confronted was a dull light brown page. This is not an intutive bit of software, I clicked open in file and still no play window. Not sure how to get things to play in vlc, nothing obvious at all. Maybe it is not designed for the beginner, but for the more informed and those familiar with things more complicated than the average user is used to. I expected this to be simple and easy to use, I found the opposite and uninstalled it. Back to WMP as my default as it does all I ask it to do. If it does not play the odd file, I will no lose any sleep over it.

"Plays anything in god quality" It's easy to use and its works for nearly every media type out there. It's a little bit tricky to exactly chose a specific time in a movie file because the move doesn't jump to the exact spot where you hold your mouse.

"Great - and free." Works well. Easier to use than Windows Media Player, which is what I was looking for. Installs Ask toolbar. Go for it.

"Great video player. A litle short on music management." All codecs included. No hassle. No crapware. Renders video beatifuly. Not an itunes replacement for audio.

"VLC is simply the best." Plays almost everything Free Comes with effects and useful media manipulation Light on resources A nice and clean UI Maybe one, playlist handling is a little clumsy. It can't be beat for your buck (I did mention free right) it's better than some pay programs. If anyone has found a better free player feel free to respond!
