From the day I found out about the VLC Media player, I had not used the Windows Media Player anymore. The reason for this is because I was getting lost in the programs cavernous menus with the submenus while fighting within the multitude and confusing features of this program since most of the time I watch the video on my laptop. VLC Media Player may increase the volume of any video up to 200 percent volume and it can be higher from this. Window Media Player may not say that they are able to do this and the default volume for most video had me pressing the ears on the tiny speakers of the computer.
VLC has a simple format; it is efficient and versatile which ousted the media superstars such as Microsoft and Divx from the hearts of the consumers around the world. Most of the media files are able to play with the VLC Media Player and this includes the unfamiliar and obscure codecs that have never been seen. The regular updates that are made by VideoLAN ensures that the app continue with its popularity and reputation of many years.
Over these all years, the functionality and the display of the app has not changed which means that it looks as an old friend and it has stayed with many people regardless of the type of the operating system they have such as windows or other multiple platform. However, with the arrival of window 8.1, Microsoft pressured the developers of the software in developing the interface that are friendly to the tablet. With this in mind, VideoLAN had started to make the required changes.
The answer from the company to Window 8.1 is VLC v0.1.0. However, the limitations caused by this new version together with the compatibility to the Window 8.0 which was limited, the update meet mixed reviews and the overall reputation of this media player was threatened. During this tension, VideoLAN released the update for VLC media player, even if it does not deal with the compatibility problems, it was expected to fix many crashing and bugs issues while creating the platform which is compatible to the Window 10.
This shows that VideoLAN is doing everything possible to keep its customers happy and more updates are expected to be made available in the near future.
The update of VLC Media Player is going to download and to be installed automatically from the Window Stores as far as you have already the player installed in your device. The latest version of the free and multiform media player is going to be available for the download of window store.
The new VLC can also be used on the Window Phones. Even if the window phones have already the video player built in, it does not have advanced features like zooming, gesture controls and additions of the subtitles. It does not also support some media format like mkv and flac. This is why everyone will be happy to have this app on his phone. VLC is popular software and everyone can use it regardless if he uses window computer, iOS or Android mobile platforms.
