VLC - does MORE than you think
Hi all
VLC is much much more than a free DVD player. I've seen people recommend all sorts of player etc etc but you cannot beet the simplicity and versatility of VLC and it's also a TINY piece of software.
I have not yet seen a codec VIDEO or Audio that it can't handle.
Anyway here's some hidden gems also that you can do with VLC.

Nice tips, I use VLC with Media Player Classic and have disabled Windows Media Player.

VLC rocks. It's also one of the best pgms for handling different playlist formats.

The only negative thing is it plays high quality, good quality format movies really laggy, and there is no iTunes way of Playlists, like you can't make a movie playlists for each type of movie and easily access them.

Another few things you probably didn't know VLC could do.
1. Record you PC screen.
2. If you have a TV card. Play the live stations from it.
3. Play video streams from the internet.
4. Play a video as a wallpaper.

I'm still looking for the "make me coffee" option in VLC's menus, but I agree - it rocks. 
Thanks jimbo45!

The main thing wrong with VLC is the difficulty finding out how to do something. It's usually there but the documentation is dreadful (non existent).

MPC has CCCP add-ons, I may need to disagree with ya :P

It worked great for me until they added PGS and XSubs subtitle support. Now every time I touch it while playing a video it just goes away. I must have tried 20 different versions and nightly builds. They're all untouchable. Really frustrating!!
All it does for me is crash!

I can't get it to play audio bin/cue files.
