Version: VLC Media Player 0.8.4a
"Best media player outside of Windows Media Player. Forget Media Player Classic."
Pros: Its free.
Its robust...it will play any video file you feed it.
It comes with a good number of codecs along with the program so you don't have to install those specific ones manually.
It has an uncommon icon (an orange road caution cone)...so you will never have trouble spotting the shortcut in a crowd of shortcuts on your desktop for example.
Cons: On one of my machines it has issues holding a video to the proper aspect ratio. For some reason the video plays, but if I move the VLC window one pixel, the video image stretches the width of my screen. Not sure why.
The scroll bar is fair at best. Unlike the Windows Media Player scroll bar which lets you start and stop at any individual second in the video, VLC's scroll bar doesn't seem to be that precise. It will jump five seconds or so, instead of just one.
The audio controller is fair at best.

Version: VLC Media Player 0.8.4a
"Great player, but confusing with options"
Pros: This media player plays every video type ever known. It plays them fast and doesn't skip any frames as Windows Media Player does at times.
It also has many features to look for. A screenshot features with a background feature and many more.
Has a small download, easy instal, definitely recommended for a try
Cons: Although it had a few features to it, they were confusing. For instance the screenshot command, I had no clue where to get that screenshot once I took it.

"An ESSENTIAL Player.....Plays anything for FREE with LOW system resources...."
Pros: An Excellent Player, Plays almost any TYPE of AUDIO/VIDEO file type.
+ Plays "Real Media" files with almost ZERO CPU usage & LOW Memory Usage, Which is Recommandable for any Application.
+ Plays .asx, .mov "Quick Time" type & all the other popular extensions.
+ A Must Software for any computer.
Cons: Bugs in "VLC Media Player 0.8.2a" seems to been fixed.
-Interface is Simple and NEEDS Lots of Imporovements, However there is NO FLAW with FUNCTIONALITY.....Highly Recommandadle PLAYER.
Other Considerations could be WinAmp, Quintessential 4.51, Jet Audio,....

"A must to play back your video"
Pros: A very nice UI, free, open source app that plays back almost every file type, and since VLC relies on the codecs that are included in the installation, there is no need to download a new codec pack to play back your video files. A must need app to play back your video files.
