Has anyone tried VLC media player? It looks very impressive.

I have tried VLC almost everytime they put a new version out, and
everytime I end up uninstalling it.
The last time I had problems loading videos.
More specific, when I loaded a video, I noticed that the audio was a
little 'slow'... almost as if the video was on a tape and was taking
up speed.

Must wait for the next release

Though VLC sometimes can be a bit clunky, VLC's great advantage is that it
plays just about every type of file out-of-box - no codecs required to
install as it has a large library of it's own decoding dll's.

VLC is also an invaluable tool to preview video that hasn't fully downloaded
off emule or other p2p programs.

On other words, when I normally watch video, I use BSPlayer. When BSPlayer
has problems I use VLC - and it works nearly all the time.

I've been using it for a while now. I choose it above any other video
player. Simple, stable, plays anything.
