VLC Media Player 3 is a universal cross-platform media player that can play almost any audio or video file, and also has additional tools for working with media content. The player’s special feature is the presence of built-in codecs (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, XviD, etc.), which allows you to play a media resource without using additional programs. The list of supported formats is simply huge – the player can “digest” even rare formats that are packed with specific codecs:

  • video – avi, wmv, vob, mkv, mp4, etc.,
  • audio – mp3, flac, ogg, wma, wav, etc.

In addition, the application perfectly plays CD / DVD and other discs, network broadcasts by URL (can be configured as a server for broadcasting a stream using IPv4 or IPv6 protocols). Of course, the organization and playback of playlists is supported, it is possible to switch between audio tracks, enable full-screen mode, use sound visualization, change the video scale and aspect ratio, take a screenshot, enable subtitles and much more.

In addition, the program has a variety of audio and video effects:

  • audio equalizer, compression, surround sound,
  • video – adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, clarity;
    cropping; geometry (picture rotation); logo overlay; blur, etc.

But that’s not all. This player can be successfully used as a media file converter – recode files into a convenient and acceptable format for yourself or extract the audio track from the video. In general, we can confidently say that VLC Media Player is a powerful media player that will satisfy the needs of the most demanding users, allowing you to play almost any audio or video file and customize the picture to your tastes and preferences.

In general, I can talk about this multimedia player for a very long time, for me the program is one of the best of its kind, I use it myself to watch high definition video, I have never noticed any lags, everything plays and rewinds quickly. How many times have I noticed that the picture quality in this program is better than in various others, maybe it all depends on the settings, I will not argue with this, in any case I am happy and I hope you are too, do not forget to express your opinions about the program, I hope they will be positive.
