The media player is powerful, light, fast and features fully customizable hotkeys that makes it very easy to use.Д¬PU usage of the player has gone down and it now uses GPU decoding for HD media playback (1080p) to ease the CPU from processing jobs. It lets you create bookmarks and basic playlists to store your local media files, podcast subscriptions and Internet radio stations. VLC has been one of the favorite for many crazy video cognoscenti and is entirely self-contained so that it remains unruffled against any esoteric video formats to make sure that no additional codecs are required for playback. Sometimes I wished the menu bar could be stripped off as all the options are available on right click.

The toolbars are fully customizable so you get to choose the buttons needed on the interface. The volume slider at the right end enhances the playback volume to a max 200%. The media information is listed at the bottom with the name of the file currently playing, playback speed and elapsed/remaining time that on double click opens a window to jump to a specific time. You have the usual buttons for pause/resume playback, stop playback, previous and next media in the playlist, open playlist, full screen toggle, extended settings for audio-video-subtitles effects and synchronization, repeat and shuffle. The seek bar is bounded at both of its ends by granular speed control buttons to reduce and/or increase the speed of playback. The player has a classic menu based interface that is strictly simple and stripped down with command buttons placed methodically at the lower end of the screen.

On first run we are asked if VLC could get information from the internet and to automatically check for any updates available.

VLC media player has a highly portable framework and works across different platforms. What started as a student project with the goal of developing a general purpose media player that could handle audio, video and streamed content has now brought us to the long-time open source favourite VLC media player formerly known as VideoLan Client.
