VLC Media Player for Linux Editor's Review

Do you own a linux computer? Have you always regretted not having a PC, because of the number of files you don't have access to because they are only natively playable on windows computers (such as .vob and .wmv)? Previously, the best way to deal with unplayable video files was VLC, which was not available for anything besides windows, but it has now been developed for Linux!

VLC media player is a (free) media player which can play almost any video file, from the vaguest of the vague all the way up to common ones, such as AVI and MP4. It does this while being incredibly lightweight, in both file size, and in operating power needed to run it. In addition to being able to flawlessly play any video file, VLC also can play ANY audio   file, meaning it doubles as both the most efficient audio and video player.  

While being both lightweight and functional, VLC does not lose out on any features of other media players, however. In VLC you can pause, rewind stop and perform any of the other basic commands to a video or audio file. As well as this, you can increase or decrease the speed to watch the film is slow motion or fast forward.

The linux version works exactly like the regular version does, so there is no reason not to download it, especially if you frequently have problems installing the correct players for files. Even if you just casually watch or listen to videos or music, the extra functionality that VLC offers makes it a definite must download for linux users now it has been released for that platform, and I strongly recommend that every linux user does so.
