VLC Player – best among its competitors

August 15th, 2009 Amit Sahrawat No comments

VLCI have tried different players for movies, music, but ever since I have used VLC. I have not switched back from it. VLC is magnificent media player, providing support for almost all the media files and most important its easy to use interface. I have even used VLC for development purpose on LINUX. Where I have used VLC as a server as well as a client, not many might have used these features of VLC player but the support for streaming is excellent.

3)     Easy and extremely useful shortcuts. Read more…
