Why do people meme against VLC?

>>55788782
Because MPC-HC + madVR is better

I can't uderstand why :(

>>55788804
See that's a meme, arguments consist of evidence rather than assertions

I don't know if I just am doing it wrong, but scrubbing through video sucks dick in VLC, and MPC-HC has no problems with it.

Also,
>that shit-tier volume slider

VLC is solid. This is just /g/, where fat elitist anime faggots talk shit about everything.

>>55788966
Volume slider? Dude if you aren't using the mouse wheel for that you have bigger problems than a volume slider.

>>55789040
he fell for the trackball meme

>>55788996

This. VLC is fine it's just a media player for christ's sake.

>>55789130
Not that guy but I use my mouse wheel to crank the volume 200% on my laptop. Fuck you now.

It's too popular
/g/ don't like normie software, it makes them lose the special snowflake feel

>>55788782
Because mpv and mpc are better.

VLC isn't really bad, but I will admit it's prone to bugging out on scrubbing and on Windows the "Rebuilding Font Cache..." thing is annoying.

>>55788782
Prolly the dumb logo, but I still use it.

>>55789264
>on Windows the "Rebuilding Font Cache..." thing is annoying.
This was the main reason that made me change

I went through one of those MPC-HC troll threads a while back, and actually followed their advice step by step to set up MPC-HC (which took an hour or two), then did a comparison screengrab of VLC and MPC-HC playing a 50 gig + RAW bluray rip.

The quality was exactly the fucking same.

>>55789321
>hour or two
So you're an idiot on top of being blind.

>>55789155
VLC is meant for Streaming, you troglodyte.

Gentlemen, I like VLC.

Gentlemen, I love VLC!

I like AVI, I like RMVB, I like 120fps, I like interlacing,

I like rainbowing, I like the dot crawl, I like blocking.

I like the ringing, and I like tinny audio.

On a computer, a DVD player, a PS3, on a Mac, on an Archos. I truly love each and every kind of artifact man can encode to a file.

I like the broken ASS support when even the simplest of lines fails to render correctly. When the translator's notes overlaps the main dialogue, it makes my heart dance!

I like when an encode displays like it is corrupted!
It always left a warm feeling in my chest when they would check the CRC, only to find it is correct.

>>55791569
I like it when #darkhold encoders post on AnimeSuki and RAGE about the topic at hand. I recall how much it moved me, seeing how epic longposts were made, how they would shun the subject again and again, even though it wouldn't die. And it's painfully exciting when a leecher posts about how great it is in the same thread. And how wonderful it is to have 120fps for a show that is a constant 23.976!

And that pitiful resistance, encoding to h264, despite it being harder on the CPU. I even remember when XviD had a 10:1 leecher ratio!

I like it when the MKV fanboys are thrown into chaos. And when the VFR feature they are supposed to be promoting is violated repeatedly... oh how very sad it is.

I like it when the detail and sharpness in HD encodes are crushed and obliterated! And them being filtered, smearing and ghosting and looking worse than a standard DVD.
Gentlemen, what I want is a low bitrate hell.

Gentlemen, my compatriots, leechers, you who abuse my XDCC bots... gentlemen, what do you desire? Do you also want eyecancer? Is a return to the age of VCDs what you want? Do you yearn for a VHS encode that stretches the very limits of poor quality, the artifacts so intense that it makes Stevie Wonder cringe?

Very well then, we shall have VLC.

VLC works well as a backup, but:
>Rebuilding Font Cache
>Washed out colors on Nvidia without changing settings
>Poor UI out of box
>No thumbnail preview
>Can't just click screen to pause / play
It can be fixed up to be tolerable, but I prefer MPC-BE as my main player, and keep VLC Portable on-hand as backup.
MPV is nice, but is lacking too many features for me.
Love MPC-BE's UI, seekbar preview (which MPC-HC is missing), skin doesn't look Win 98 retro, and can increase the minimum texture resolution, and its font rendering is almost indistinguishable from MPV to me.
Was also annoying to me that MPV didn't remember last window size / position.
Also being able to change between these UI's just by pressing 1, 2 or 3 is nice.

I use KCP on my PC, but VLC on my phone. If the Android player says anything about the quality of the desktop application, then VLC has fixed a lot of its old issues. I'd recommend it to tech illiterates and people that don't like to play with settings for best possible quality.

>>55788782
i use vlc, mpc-hc, mplayer and mpv.
I one doesn't work i try the other.

>>55794038
Though i very rarely have to resort to vlc.

100000000000% cpu to run video on my old ass mac

I think it has something to do with chink cartoons and some obscure subtitle formats, not sure.

I don't watch chink cartoons so I have no reason to care.

>>55789367
Not an argument, faggot.

Do the same and show me fucking side by side comparisons of the exact same fucking scene.

It took ages for all the extra shit they tell you to download to install because I was on a shitty laptop that was falling apart at the time.

>>55794196
never gets old

>>55788782
I never download anything over 720p, I don't need hardware acceleration, vlc is fine
in fedora installing codecs is a pain and I feel dirty, vlc include them all and is selfcontained
also supports a lot of network protocols and don't shit itself when reading from a sshfs mount
good for music too

>>55788824
I have used VLC for 10+ years and have honestly never had that problem.

>>55792039
What are you trying to watch with all that processing? Me strangling your family to death?

>>55796951
Try pausing and unpausing the video rapidly. VLC memes are real.

It doesn't have auto find subtitles like BS Player does. fucking time saver.

>>55799997
your fault for watching weeb shit

>>55800131
there is a plugin you can activate that can do it

>>55800164
Well fuck, I suppose you learn something new everyday. Thanks, anon.

>>55797730
DXVA copyback(the method used by VLC on Wangblows) is anything but efficient. Basically the bitstream is sent to the GPU video engine for decoding, and tyose decoded frames are copied back to the main memory... just to be sent back to the GPU for presentation!!!

YADIF is complete shit when compared to the motion-compensated deinterlacing algorithms included in modern GPUs(they have an dedicated ASIC for that purpose). VLC can't use them. And if you wonder why would I need that, it's because sometimes I watch live TV or DVDs on my computer.

>>55800206
I used smplayer for years because of this feature, installed vlc again the other day and found it can do the same, duh

>>55800619
How well do they fetch?

I usually have to get multiple subs manually and cross fingers.

It's enough to go to screenshotcomparison.com and see the fucking difference. It's YUUUUGE. It's probably bigger than Trump's ego.

It's not a matter of discussion. madVR - JINC, or NNEDI3 if you have a PC good enough for that, is simply better. If you think it only matters when you're watching anime, then, man, you already dun goofed beyond recognition.

>>55800106
>Try pausing and unpausing the video rapidly.

Why would anyone do that in real world usage?

>>55801426
VLC has no frame advance option and I wanted to take a screenshot from muh animu.

>>55801566
>VLC has no frame advance option
Did you even try looking?

>>55801613
Yes, I did and I couldn't find it. Well, I guess all that time spent in GNU Emacs caused me to lose a grip on GUI programs.

>>55788824
This hasn't been a problem in like 2 or 3 years you faggot

I just tested here

VLC and MPC-HC (with default renderer) on a 1080p .mkv movie.
The colors were different, MPC-HC was more yellowish.

Then I changed the renderer of MPC-HC to madVR.
Both looked exactly the same.

I guess VLC is not bad after all.

Actually, I did.
I don't know if I did something wrong tho. I just opened the file, paused at the same time and posted my conclusions here.

I just tried again and took snapshots to post here.
I used the Go To to stop at the exact same time, took screenshots (MPC-HC saves it as JPEG, VLC as PNG, and the height of the VLC snapshot is a little bigger, don't know why).

I cut the same image of the frame and put them together.
Yes, MPC-HC+madVR and VLC is not exactly the same as I said before. But still, the difference is really small.
And the MPC-HC default renderer really does have a yellow tint.

I just tried again, now with a porn movie that the girl is really white.
The yellow tint on MPC-HC default renderer is really obvious.

>>55803144
>default renderer

might as well watch movies in winamp

>>55803144
Yeah, looks like Windows' default defaults to rec. 601. But we madVR here.

>>55803144
it's kinda like people saying FLAC is shit and mp3 is enough for songs

yeah, if you've got a $10 headphones, then yes
if you've got a $500 headphones, you try playing mp3

>>55803327
and I said "try" cuz you'd run away

$100 with proper sound card and lots of equaliser fun and you can say good bye to mp3

no one should use default renderers

>>55803351
>>55803327
>>55803221

Run away? What?
I'm not shilling for any players here, I'm trying to choose what would be the best for me.

I only posted the porn comparison to emphasize the yellow tint that occurs on the default renderer of MPC-HC.

As I already posted before, I got madVR too.
And even though there is a difference, for 1080p files, VLC and MPC-HC+madVR are almost the same.

>>55803468
>VLC and MPC-HC+madVR are almost the same.

We already knew you were blind from what you consider an acceptable copy of Spirited Away. You don't need to keep repeating it.

>>55803468
You'd run away from the difference between MP3 and FLAC if you heard it on a good hardware.

I posted 2 comparison links, and the difference there is huge. I could just keep bringing them up. NNEDI3 is the future, and most still use JINC. If you've got a GPU below GTX680, then you can't even utilize JINC and Smooth Motion properly.

The different is most visible in anime.

Why are there so many vlc shills in this thread but not one post of a video? It's because they can't without screen tear and stuttering.

>>55812055
Basically:
1. The VLC users are casuals who might speak the truth that they have not seen problems.
2. The rest are using a better media player(s) for all the bleeding edge stuff.

>>55812256
Or the VLC users simply pretend nothing happened and blame broken video files (While the file passes all checksum tests)
