Without these problems, it would have been almost perfect for me:
1. Volume normalization is very bad. As it tries to constantly adjust volume up and down, sound is uneven and right down nasty. At best, it's annoying. At worst, it's headache inducing.
2. Video playback is choppy when I play videos that have been converted from PAL to NTSC, and vice versa.

version 1.1.11 is good, plays 1080p HD fluently but the thing that i hate the most is that it doesn't keep the settings i want after i close it and open it again..big disappointment

I started using VLC about 4 or 5 years ago, when Windows Media Player wouldn't play a lot of the movies I had download,and never looked back.
Version 1.1.4 was real buggy with certain codecs for me but 1.1.8 everything so far is fine. I love the ability to customize so many settings, and the fact it take almost anything I can throw at it.
I donate to this project when ever I can.
Rating 9/10

I agree with wdc. Ever since 1.0.3 it's been buggy as hell, Can't seek mkvs, m2ts s, crashes frequently too.. I dumped it for good..

vlc lost its way, it used to be a terrific player, now it's just another one, slow, resource hog, keeps icon in systray even after close, keep my files busy after closed, too many bugs. i'm using mpc right now and dumped vlc for good.

Dissatisfied with Windows Media Player, this application is a far better alternative. It has more options and is easy to use. I recommend it for anyone who uses a DVD ROM or CD ROM.
VLC Media Player is a very user friendly, intuitive application that allows me to use my music libraries or 'movie of the day' without any struggle. It lets me gets started, the 'disappears' while in use. Then it comes easily to use when I am done.

1.0.2 is finally usable for me (Windows)! Still has flaws (creates invalid icon entries for the file associations; sometimes displays three little video popup windows when playing a wmv!), but this player is finally worthy enough to replace Media Player Classic here (HomeCinema was a good alternative but unfortunately that is just a bit too unstable).
VLC is quite heavy in the disk space department, but it can be cut down to about 55 mb (from around 80 -LOL). Quite good player so far, and the playback speedup while keeping the same sound pitch is great (seems only this player offers that).

VLC is one pretty smart media player. However, I found that with VLC 1.0, when seeking through a WMV file, playback was slow. When downgrading to the 0.9.9 version, the file instantly played after each seek time with no pause afterwards. I will stick with the 0.9.9 version until the 1.0 version becomes more stable and this issue with WMV files is resolved. Other than that, this is a great media player. Will use this for great .WMV file playback.

Using VLC 0.9.9, under Tools->Preferences->Audio->Filters->spatializer there are 5 parameters/options but no descriptions or names for these parameters/options on the left.
Help->Check for Updates... appears to be broken. I get pop-up window with title "VLC media player updates". Window shows "Launching an update request...", but then comes back with "An error occurred while checking for updates...". Clicking on "Recheck version" button at bottom of pop-up window, repeats this error.

I'm using VLC version "f".
It does play .wmv files fine. That's a positive!
However,
* It displays .3gp (3gpp) video, but has no sound.
* It displays .3g2 (3gpp2) video, but has no sound.
* It does not even open a .avi file!

Quick heads up: Reviews & comments get a fast check before posting - no spam allowed.
1. Try disabling the time stretch audio option. Or put the dolby surround option on. Maybe that can be help.
2. for converted videos, I use yadif deinterlacing and it gives very good results. Maybe toggle GPU acceleration on - it works for me. VLC is my go to media player for all videos I get from internet.
For my movies, I use Mediaplayer CLassic HomeCinema coz I use ffdshow and haali- gives me best quality
