This is a review of VLC, a free multimedia player for movies and music. Download it here.
Fijne feestdagen! Om mee te gaan met die DVD van uw favoriete film, die CD van je favoriete band, en die lelijke trui van je favoriete tante, hier is een geschenk van een programma: VLC!
VLC is een gratis, open-source multimedia program for any operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux, zelfs Android) dat kan films afspelen, muziek, The Whole Nine Yards. Had ik al gezegd dat het gratis is?
There are hundreds of free music/video players out there, and there are plenty that come bundled with your computer, but VLC really is the best. Some of its strengths:
- Plays almost any music/video file type (mp3, ogg, mkv, etc.) I’ve been using VLC for a while and haven’t found a single file type it won’t play.
- Even plays CDs/DVDs when you insert them into your computer.
- Very clean, easy-to-use interface that gets the job done.
- Full screen mode that gets rid of any distractions.
- Plays subtitles goed.
- Lets you crop/zoom/process a video as much as you want so it’ll fit your screen.
- Supports music playlists.
- Can capture video and audio (so you can record your screen or music, for example.)
- Has tons of plugins and extensions.
Suffice to say, VLC is a great program; there’s a reason it’s one of the most popular open-source projects (4 million downloads per week!) Ga je gang en download VLC, install it, and start playing that music and video you’ve always wanted to. Just ditch the sweater.
