During my first few days on my desktop, I used to use windows media player to listen to songs and watch videos. One of my friend introduced me to VLC media player which I tried and was very impressed. Below is my feedback for this media player:
PROS:
One of the best features of this player is volume enhancer. It can double the volume of any media file.
The second feature which I like for this player is the ability to play an extensive list of media files which other players cannot. It can play anything and everything which has volume/video.
Third feature is the shortcut buttons. It has shortcuts almost all the functionalities and this makes this player very easier to use.
It also has a feature to take snapshots of any frames in a video.
Variety of aspect ratio to choose from.
CONS:
The only negative point for this player what I feel is that it compresses the video while playing which eventually decreases the quality. This is what I feel for this player. I may be wrong. You need to use it for better understanding.
