Yeah, I've always had strong reasons to use other players, so as a player I dont take it seriously. Its great to recommend to normal people though.

Never used or needed to install VLC, I've always thought of it as derp player for those that have "codec problems" which I've never encountered.

VLC for the phone (Unless there's a better alt) but MPC-HC for the PC. Main reason: Faster but also "Frame by frame BACKWARDS"

I tried VLC on W10 (laptop from my work), it indeed runs like shit on windows, what a difference compared with how smoothly it runs on Linux....

mpv uses ffmpeg, and on Windows there are far superior alternatives also based on ffmpeg, let alone better decoders/splitters, such as LAVFilters. mpv is the Linux of media players, and VLC is the Java of the media players. Laughing Far better alternatives exist for each category.

Windows Media Player forever! Whos with me! Laughing

Actually shamefully that IS what I use (or 'Movies & TV' or whatever windows 10 calls it). Not out of preference, just lack of need.
I watch video files so rarely on my PC and when I do they are usually just mp4 files of a few minutes for work of some bug being replicated, that no point installing anything for video files.

I watched it as an exception. I normally stay away videos like that because they're usually just dumb people rambling


it locks up for him in Linux somehow so he stopped using it

that's it



also he thinks fantastically is not a word, compares it to automagically.
nothing of value has been said in 14 minutes
