Looking for one of the best video players around? If so, you may want to consider the VLC Media Player because of the excellent value delivered. First, it doesn't cost you anything, and this media player supports all the file formats without a problem. You don't have to download additional codecs every time you want to use another file format, and you can optimize the video or do an audio playback. What's great about the Portable VLC Media Player is how you can extend it infinitely with the downloadable plug-ins. Not only does it include extra features to your player, you can use it to enable the integration with some of the other streaming services and programs.

VLC Media Player: What It Supports

With the VLC Media Player, you have software like DivX and MPEG streaming. You can also play videos as the download takes place, which lets you check out the beginning to decide you want to download the rest of it. You might also choose to play one of the ZIP files. Luckily, with this media player, you don't have to unpack it individually. If the video sounds too quiet, you can also choose to manually increase the volume of the show. In fact, you can turn it up as high as 200 percent once you have finished downloading the film completely.

Looking for a Specific Album Cover?

One of the coolest things about the VLC Media Player is how you can choose to search for specific album covers. You can also download cover art to specific song. The playlist function of VLC lets you play multiple films, and you can play them one right after the next. In particular, it becomes useful after you have downloaded a film in six or seven different parts, and you want to watch the shorter videos.

What's the User Experience Like?

A lot of users have highly praised the VLC Media Player because it does more than act like a media player. In fact, it works as an excellent backup when you're trying to open a video from a specific format that most of the other media players don't even recognize. VLC steps in and helps you to solve the problem.

In the ideal world, everything would just work without a problem, but unfortunately, we face a variety of problems that we have to be prepared for. Over the years, we have developed all sorts of different formats for both music and videos, and it even includes a different delivery mechanism for many of them. This ranges from streaming to downloads, but VLC Media Player understands all of them and is well prepared to meet the demands of all.
