VLC is a universal media player capable of playing back from sources such as files, playlists, DVDs, CDs, Internet Video Streams. It does this using freely available codecs but packs them into a powerful piece of software that does all the guess work for you, you will no longer have to deal with annoying codec errors that require you to download additional software.

Yes, It’s the best I have ever tested! VLC is the best Media player I have ever tested. It’s my standard media player for many years. Whenever I experience problems with other media players in computers where other media players are default MP, I use VLC which I always carry with me on my USB stick.
