I really WANT to like this program. And 2.0 is nicer. The interface and sub handling are definitely better.
But ...
I played an unencoded rip of one of my DVDs. It still doesn't play it smoothly. Version 1.05 or whatever will, but the streaming is no longer secure.
I tried some files that play fine in SMPlayer and didn't in the previous VLC. They don't in 2.0 either.
There still doesn't seem to be any ASIO/Wasapi support. Come on people. If it had that I'd definitely use it as an audio player. Or if I were running Linux or Mac OS. They don't have that nasty habit Windows has of always wanting to resample audio.
I wish SMPlayer had an interface as good as this does. It's more like older versions of VLC.
But it still plays a wider variety of videos better, and the video filters are still MUCH better.
I don't dislike VLC enough to bother uninstalling it but I don't think I`ll be using it any more often than the previous version. Which is, increasingly, not much. |
