Its linked mkv support is sub-par. Though it's miles ahead of mpv, which doesn't know what a linked mkv is.

MPC is superior in every way
except for being available in the Windows Store

You are absolutely correct; it has something.
Several somethings, in fact. Too many to list.
This is where you lamely say "you know what I mean".

Been using IINA for a while on macOS and it's super comfy. I just wish there was something better than VLC for iOS. All of the other "media players" are either bloated or poorly designed.

>>61468085

VLC is what I use on incomplete/corrupted videos because it just keeps chugging. I love both vlc and mpv. They both have a place my computers.

>>61459495
I agree. For the vast majority of users there is nothing wrong with using VLC. For those that actually pay attention and hate banding VLC is not a good choice.

>>61460328
>>61460108
That's just how VLC visualizes errors in the encoding eg missing frames. Some other video players will skip the frames by just showing the same frame for that duration.

>>61463197
>AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That problem is caused by hardware decoding. You can go adjust your filters to try to get rid of it though. That's how some of the other video players do it.

>>61462432
Solus. Install it nao

>>61468823
But when I rewind the video, that visualization error isn't reproduced and it's smooth as normal. My laptop isn't shit either. What's up with that? I do like the idea of VLC visualizing errors though instead of skipping, so now I have to maybe reconsider IINA, or just ensure I have a good file

>>61459495
>*Double clicks on mkv/mp4 file*
>*Vlc crashed*
>You want to send crash log to devs?
>*Clicks ok*
>*Reporter crashed*
That's why it's so wrong to use vlc.

>>61469038
It's not always an error. It depends on the format the video was encoded in.
The effect in the video happens when there's a problem with either the keyframe or the deltas inbetween this keyframe and the next one. When you've already played it back once and it works fine then then it means that the error did not appear for whatever reason.

Hardware acceleration can mess a lot with this kind of stuff.

I would still recommend MPV for watching movies.

I've literally never had a problem with VLC. /g/ is the only place I've seen people take issue with it.

Interesting. What about IINA vs mpv on Mac?

so at the moment if i wanna listen to/watch something on vlc im using the 'open file/folder' option each time
is there a way to like associate/integrate all of my files with vlc, so i can like search WITHIN vlc for a certain file etc?

VLC is exceptionally vulnerable because it's so popular and de facto choice, namely in subtitle handling trusted repositories

I used to think this until a few months ago I tried MPC. Honestly I feel retarded having used VLC for so long, it was great in the beginning but in the past 5 years VLC has really gone down hill.

>>61470589

agreed, general consensus VLC went downhill and transition to 4K won't help their fate.

>>61459495
VLC is freakin' awesome. Everybody who says otherwise is using a old version of it.

>>61470693
>Newer is better.©

last time i made a thread here and asked if i should use MPC or MPV you faggots said VLC

Beacuse VLC is for retards. The thread probably got the impression you fit into this category.

>>61471289
> ask a legit question

i figured i got trolled but it was uncalled for

>>61469204
It's not about issues, it's about an inferior product compared to the other, just as obtainable alternatives.

Being a VLC user means you are a person who is okay with eating garbage when there's a good lunch right next to it, because you've been eating garbage your entire life.

>>61471308
You should have asked in the Stupid Questions General, or skip the middle-man and ask in the mpv thread.

Making a thread for your mundane request will cause you to get shat on, yes. Read the sticky.

>>61471316
>skip the middle-man and ask in the mpv thread
because they'll be unbiased? mpv thread is for mpv users

> a million threads about intel vs amd is sacred board tradition
> a million consumerism whore threads are fine too
> a legit comparison thread between two software is a question for retards

the current state of /g/

>>61460108
This is how I die isnt it

>>61471357
> a legit comparison thread between two software is a question for retards

It's not a legit comparison thread because the general consensus on both /g/ and /a/ (another board who is elitist with their media playback) is that MPC-HC with madVR and LAV filters is superior to VLC.

mpv is in another league, for other types of users.

Consumerism whore threads and intel vs amd threads are at least based on current events. MPC vs VLC was a lost battle and has been a concluded discussion since 2010.

>>61471413

>>61471495
It's not an opinion. The failure to recognize this is why you're an idiot.

A general misunderstanding is how hard these people press the VLC vs MPC discussion.

VLC isn't terrible. It's just not as good as MPC.
MPC is just as free as VLC. It even have one-click installers like KCP or CCCP.

So why would anyone use a sub-par application that is just as available as the other application?
Because they're idiots.

>>61471513
maybe you should read again

i made a thread that asked which program is better MPC or MPV, and i got told VLC by asshurt faggot that wanted attention. you are telling me why MPC is better than VLC and that never was my question to begin with

before that you said
> It's not a legit comparison thread because the general consensus on both /g/ and /a/ (another board who is elitist with their media playback) is that MPC-HC with madVR and LAV filters is superior to VLC.

yes. it should.
but it don't.

>>61471647
>>61471665
Also to solve your original question

It's up to real preference. You may be able to squeeze out some better colors using mpv, but it's an enthusiast's tweaker tool. The reason there's a constant mpv thread up is because hobbyists enjoy tweating constantly, finding new solutions and configurations to try.
If this is your thing, try MPV. If not, go for MPC.

>It's up to real preference. You may be able to squeeze out some better colors using mpv, but it's an enthusiast's tweaker tool.
This. It's made by enthusiasts for enthusiasts. If you just want something that works out of the box, go download VLC and be happy. I literally don't give a shit.

The worst is people who act like they (or others) “need” to use mpv, as if their personal validation depends on it. If you find it too confusing, it's not meant for you.
