What is VLC Media Player? - Comments Page 3

I have installed VLC MEDIA PLAYER, VERSION 2.2.0 on my Win 7 and Win XP computers with unacceptable results. VLC crashes regularly on both machines and is completely unusable for me.

My computers are virus and malware free and run perfectly with all other applications - so I have to go back to using Windows Media Player - which I am not too crazy about using.

Has anyone else run into this problem with v.2.2.0, since it was only released about one month ago?

I've tried many times to use the advanced features of vlc media player, but it never seems to work. Also, it won't play videos purchased from itunes, so the whole "play any file" is a bit of a furphy...

I have tried to down load VLC and the "crapware" suggest a serious problem. Have tried it in Chrome, Firefox and IE. I have WIN 7 64 bit and it doesn't seem to like this program. Sorry Bob, this one isn't worth it and I wouldn't recommend it.

I'm using VLC for many years. I run it on XP, Vista, Win 7 & 8. There are occassionally some small problems, but in overall I'll strongly agree that it is one of the best software to play video files. My only concern is that trying to play BD disks, the video is quite choppy. I hope they will fix it soon.

I like MPC (Media Player Classic). I think an article with a comparison chart of VLC Player, GOM Player and MPC would be a great help (especially to those of us who don't know what a codec is).

It's a great player, I just wish they could get random play right. WMP can why can't they?

The best media player is JRiver Media Center software. http://www.jriver.com/

For those of you getting error messages from you AV programs make sure you are getting it from the source and not from a crapware vendor.

It's videolan.org not .com

I've been using VLC for ages and the only issue i've ever had is with windows 8.1 and slow startups. but that seems to affect just about every program.

I've been using VLC for years because it plays so many file types. THe Android version still needs some work.

downloaded VLC 2.2.1 but windows won't let me run it. What do I have to do
