I liked it. I liked that it carried all its own codecs, and seemed to be more solid than KMPlayer, although it doesn't seem to have all the features of KM, and has a bigger footprint.

Works everything, especially if you have some codec problems on your PC.Easy on resources, unlike KMplayer for example.Easy to use. Ugly, didn't accept skins from its site without losing something like the bar on full screen mode.Slow to start. Recommend for everyone. You must have it, not like your default player, because there will always be something that you can't open with any other player.

it plays almost all the media files unlike real player and windows media player which gives VLC an upper hand... nothing i could remember of. This player is unbelievable, it has so many great features and above all its free. The audio and video quality is far better than other players.

Opens everything,much better than premium players. It updates almost every week,it�s tedious,they should launch bug fixes updates not so frequently. THE BEST PLAYER AROUND.

Plays everything, very small and easy to use. The advanced features can be difficult to use. This is a must have to play all the audio/visual files out there. Very small footprint and plays files with no effort at all. Just wonderful.
