    If I try to play 3 random videos in VLC, they all three will play perfectly. If I try those same three on anything else, at least one of them will be buggy in some way.

    Yes you can argue there could be encoding problems in the video file of that buggy one, but somehow VLC just always works. Shit’s unbelievably good, so I won’t be switching.

      I remember the first time I encountered the Ogg Vorbis (.ogg) media type which ultimately lead me to downloading VLC as it was the only player that could handle it at the time

        Same story. I even remember where the files came from - ripped from Daft Punk’s Homework album (I had and have the physical CD)

        I used to use media player classic. it seemed good until I used VLC which was already way ahead of it
