"Good - enter ten characters"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.1
Pros

Cons
Can't think of any
-
"Easy to use"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.1
Pros
Can use almost any codec you use, built in equalizer.
Cons
Sometimes going to full screen, it keeps your taskbar on the bottom until you exit full screen and go back to full again.
Summary
I've been using VLC for a long time with great results. The built in EQ allows you to boost overall levels on quiet videos (or adjust sound to match your equipment). Also it's very easy to advance or retard the soundtrack in case it doesn't match the video. Easy to use overall.

certain types it lacks the abilaty to play seemless tracks without giving a pronounced blip ie alan parson's project/ I Robot // I havent found out how to use all the setting s nb:- itunes allows you to preset how much track overlap you want this then makes gappedtacks to appear seamlessSummary

"Excellent Media Player"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.1
Pros
Plays virtually any format; excellent audio quality and easy to use (for the most part).
Cons
Video quality could be better out the the box - UM Player and even Windows Media Player (on commercial DVDs) have better picture quality. Large memory footprint and heavy on system resources. Settings menus can be overwhelming when you start drilling deep.
Summary
If you need to be able to play virtually any format, VLC is still the defacto standard. But if, like me, you only need to handle a few, it may be more than you need. Although it has some of the best audio quality I've heard from any player, at 48MB I expected better video quality- I found tweaking the contrast a bit helped - but still could use improvement. Still, it's a pleasure to use, and I love the fact that it's open source. I tend to agree that it may try to do too much, but it's a great player nevertheless.
