Extra settings can be brought up on a separate window by clicking one of these buttons.

The playback options, volume control and other functions are found on the lower part of the window. It is possible to customize the interface with various skins, which can be found here. Like all media players, VLC will play videos on the main area of its interface. After downloading it, you only need to go through a fast setup process. The setup file is 21 Mb large, so it may take some time to download if you have a slow connection, but the wait is absolutely worth it. It also comes with full support for other operating systems, such as BeOS, Syllable BSD, MorphOS, Solaris and Sharp Zaurus.

Regarding compatibility, the program does not limit itself only to Windows, Mac OS X and Linux platforms. Besides installing the software, there is nothing else you will have to do. By using VLC, you can say 'goodbye' to searching the Internet for codecs. Many users choose it over other players, due to its functionality, the fact that it is free and, of course, it can play pretty much any audio or video file out there.

With VLC media player you will not encounter such problems. Your default player may not be able to run a certain format, the playback can be choppy, you may need new codecs and so on. Video files may cause serious headaches sometimes.
