VLC is the supreme of all open source projects, you used it in school, college, work and home.
I used it since I was a child and it has never failed on me. It didn’t matter what type of file you chucked at it, it would run it.
Do you disagree or agree with VLC being the best media player? What are your thoughts?
Let’s face it, if you install Linux (or even Windows!) for your mom, you put VLC in there.
Yes, some other tools are better at some things, but VLC is the perfect choice for the “standard” user.
