Media players now have a neck-to-neck competition too! If you are always in search of best things, you would probably have already tried several players. VLC Media Player is an open-source media player (absolutely free of cost) bundled with a variety of features. It is one of the best media players available. Moreover, its features are dynamic, i.e. they are constantly upgraded to accommodate the needs of the users. It is much faster as compared to majority of other players.
Whats new?
We already know what a normal Media player contains. :) Lets check out what is new.
Users can now easily surf a video frame by frame using shortcut keys. Also, there is an improved granular navigation control that makes it easier to run the video faster or slower as needed. Menus can be easily customized according to one's own choice. So you can have only the buttons you need in the interface, there's AirTunes streaming, and there's better integration in Gtk environments. Along with the improvements, VLC continues to offer robust support for a wide range of video and audio formats, including OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, HD codecs like AES3, Raw Dirac, and even support for playing back zipped files.
Default view of VLC is still a very simple one, suitable for even beginner users. VLC's open-source foundation and community ensures that it evolves quickly and often, with new features and fixes released frequently. Overall, VLC Media Player is a must-have application for its ability to open just about any type of video file you want it to play.
