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..
