Vlc Media-player Reviews 

Ive heard about people having all kinds of issues with this player i just use it with my Xbox to play my flac files it works fine. Way better display and audio quality than the Microsoft player.

How on earth can you realease an update which causes your application to crash thereafter. DON'T YOU DO ANY TESTING BEFORE RELEASING AN UPDATE??????????????????????????????????????

Most of the time I can't get this to work, it doesn't find my dvds or seem to have any menu options that are intuitive or able to source them.
I've just downloaded 5K player which is amazing and just what I need!

Plays all music formats transferred from my laptop which previous music player failed to. Sound is excellent on my Android phone.

For years VLC has been my go-to program and I would give it 5 stars. However, the latest downloaded developer version SUCKS. It does not even give a time stamp where you are, nor a line that you can go to other places on it. It has no open-disc button. It just sucks beyond belief. WHYYY did they change such a lovely and highly useful program. UGH. It is so sad. I hope they change it back or give us 2 versions.

It's been my go-to player for a long time and seems to read files other players don't. That being said, it constantly has updates (weekly?), and when you update you lose the place where you last stopped watching.

Very Glitchy Media Player. When I rewind by a few seconds in a video, it glitches and displays parts of footage from the point where I pressed the rewind button and footage from the part of the video I rewinded to. Basically, it mushes parts of video together when I try to rewind. Before, it didn't do this, but recently when I finally updated it, that's when it started happening. 0 stars, this media player is garbage. Would not recommend to anyone if they intend to ever replay parts of a video they downloaded.

Years ago it was the best player.
Now, virtually all the advertised features don't work at all. It plays some files (not all), but cannot convert, cannot download from Youtube no mater what you do.
It is a pathetic garbage!

YesI know I can slice videos but it's quite the trouble and the process is tiresome. It would be nice to have a simple built-in video slicing tool.

It doesn't open x265 videos at all! The UI freezes and it's either the audio playing or vice versa.

Goom does not work and cannot find any fixes. Other users questions to VLC have gone unanswered. I do not see any benefit of using VLC if my favorite feature does not work.

Still after many years of use they haven't fixed the playlist option. Cannot function a simple 1-10 playlist. We have to go 1, 10, 11 etc until 2, 21 etc. This problem has existed since 2008 at least from what I can see? Real shame as it's a swiss toolkit for many things. Problem with freeware is nobody gets around to fixing anything. :(

Why VLC is not working anymore on my Laptop I kept on Installing and Re-Installing with the hope the will work to me. I uninstall VLC forever on my PC is not useful anymore..

Full featured media player tool , free and has a good controls for the videos . it just has a poor UI .

VLC keeps disappearing from my windows 11 pro?

VLC is no longer the reliable choice.... it crashes a lot and when it does, there are times you can't even kill the process anymore using task manager. Total crap

Worst software in history. After over a decade they still havent managed to make the pause and play function work, nor the scrub function. When casting, you always have to begin from the start if you need to pause the movie, so you need to memorize where you were watching BEFORE you press pause.

VLC video editor is rated the best by so many reviewers and I don't know why. I have tried in vain to run it on my MacBook Pro M1 chip computer. It loads and it certainly plays my mp4 videos. But that's where it ends. To cut and edit, it says to click on "tools" on the menu bar - but there is 'tools' item on my menu bar. I searched the web and found the answer from VLC - Click 'show all' under VLC logo - BUT that item is greyed out. I searched the web and found a lot of nonsensical replies that were useless. No one, including VLC can tell me how to click 'show all; that is greyed out or to find tools on the menu bar. Judging from other reviews, it appears that 'the best in the category' assessment is ancient history on versions that no longer exist.k If it at least came with a decent how to use manual, that would help - but it doesn't - it's mostly a case of 'figure it out and good luck!'

Dunno whats happened, but VLC used to be the goto app for media. Now it just stops and starts every few seconds, even playing from my SSD. Removed. Shame. At lease Windows media player works

I just re-downloaded VLC media player because Microsoft had done its usual updates things and deactivated it as the default media player. I've been using VLC for years and it far exceeds Windows Media Player in simple usability, I love it - until now. They've totally changed it. I cannot get it to ACTUALLY PLAY a single thing. WHY ? What on earth have they done to it? It seems to be just obsessed with finding pre-defined "video" or "music" folders or something - I've no idea what and I'm not wasting any more time finding out. Bye bye VLC.
