A Review of VLC Media Player 1.1.1
VLC Media Player is one of the only media players to play almost any format you can find or download, both for video and audio formats.
VLC has always stayed one step ahead of the competition with its exhaustive codec support and the latest technologies. With the latest version 1.1, it brings a host of new features which promises to take VLC Player to the next level.
Maintaining its status as the most up to date and universal media player, the latest release of VLC integrates support for the VP8/WebM video format released recently by Google.
Though WebM is nowhere near to being widely accepted, the fact that it is backed by Google promises it a bright future, and VLC has embraced the same in its latest update.
To make the life of users easier, the latest release also incorporates support for integration into the Windows 7 taskbar, something which native players like Windows Media Player have incorporated for a while now and which allow the player to run in the background.
One of the biggest changes to VLC Media Player is the support for GPU acceleration. GPU acceleration uses the Graphics Processor Unit (GPU) to render 2D and 3D graphics which are otherwise done by the standard processor itself. Though not all computers possess a GPU, most mid-range machines do.
GPU acceleration in VLC will greatly reduce the load on the CPU and allow you to multitask better as video decoding is a highly CPU intensive process and can slow down the machine considerably.
Another notable addition is improved playlist support and new extension support. First off, in the earlier versions of VLC, the playlist would open in a new window which made switching between the main window and the playlist a tiresome process.
With the new version, the playlist is built into the player as a dock and allows you to add/remove/choose tracks without switching to a new window. The second added feature of extensions allows you to make additions to the basic Download VLC Player interface. These can be written in an extremely simply scripting language called Lua.
One extension any movie buff will enjoy comes built-in to this release. You can use the IMDB extension to immediately get info on any movie title, without opening a browser through the View menu.
Along with these changes, the new version also includes some much needed cosmetic changes for the UI. Version 1.1 brings with it a much improved UI and new visualization based on the open source project called projectM.
As with any new release, the encoding/decoding process has been streamlined with faster and smoother decoding and latest versions of codecs for video and audio has been added.
VLC Media Player Download now features over 380 included codecs as standard.
Support for MIDI playback is another feature which has been lacking for a long time but has finally been added.
These new additions to VLC Player bring some path breaking changes to the much celebrated software, making it a must have download for any kind of media playback or streaming needs.
