"Got VLC to record streaming video - it failed"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.3
Pros
For me, none.
Cons
Trying to record streaming video. Followed the directions, such as they were, in help. All the stupid thing did was take an image of the screen, then that image took an image of the screen, then another and another ad infinitum, showing me frame within frame within frame vanishing to a dot - but nothing recorded.

"It's free, but choppy on Mountain Lion"
Version: VLC Media Player 2.0.3
Pros
It free, it will play TS Video on my Mac Pro (mid-2010) where the OS X Mountain Lion included DVD Player and Quicktime will not.
Cons
The problem with VLC is that the video is choppy. Watching "Resident Evil, Afterlife" on a Windows Home Server, in the opening scenes, the camera zooms out from a location on a city street up into sky and beyond while rotating. The rotation is notably choppy. Thought this might be the hardware, so I tried different machines, an older G5 PPC and a tricked out Windows gaming rig, but it still displayed the choppiness. I was ready to chalk it up to a crappy rip, using low quality rip settings, until I downloaded xvmc. The video played perfect. It could be a setting in VLC that I need to investigate, but it should word on TS video right out of the box without a lot of configuration.
Summary
Very good app for playing a plethora of video and audio file types.
-
