Watch videos and play music with VLC

This is a review of VLC, a free multimedia player for movies and music. Download it here.

Happy holidays! To go along with that DVD of your favorite movie, that CD of your favorite band, en dat lelike trui van jou gunsteling tannie, hier is 'n geskenk van 'n program: VLC!

VLC is 'n gratis, open-source multimedia program for any operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux, selfs Android) dat kan films speel, musiek, die hele nege meter. Het ek noem dit is gratis?

VLC my gunsteling film speel. Alle regte voorbehou en ander wetlike dinge.

Daar is honderde van gratis musiek / video-spelers daar buite, en daar is baie wat met jou rekenaar bundel kom, maar VLC is regtig die beste. Sommige van sy sterk punte:

  • Plays almost any music/video file type (mp3, ogg, mkv, ens) 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!) Gaan voort en download VLC, install it, and start playing that music and video you’ve always wanted to. Just ditch the sweater.
