Editor's review of VLC media player 0.8.2

• 4.0 stars

• "The last video player you'll ever need"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: VLC media player 0.8.2

When it comes to video files, it seems like nothing is ever as easy as it should be. VLC Media Player offers a one-stop solution, supporting playback of a whole slew of file types, including AVI, OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, and DVD. It can even function as a streaming-media server. Its open-source roots mean the program evolves quickly, with new features and fixes released frequently. Though the skinned mode perks up the interface, the program suffers from unpredictable behavior when it's activated. Also, the basic task of opening a file is far more confusing than it should be; the program gives you several options, including the head-scratcher Quick Open File. Overall, though, VLC Media Player earns its place on any computer with its ability to open just about any type of video file.

  "Faultless Media Player"

  by Whits427 on September 7, 2005

  Pros: This software covers all formats of video, including VOB which are DVD files. The volume control is much better than Quicktime and allows a louder volume, even without the EQ enabled which is also fantastic. It caters for widescreen, especially for DVD playing.

  Cons: The error messages get annoying for skipped frames, but this can be disabled
