Try to re-install that.

Biggest problem , it's UI sucks big time and it has no Full-screen control , and it doesn't feature in their priority list of Windows version :mad:

UI sucks how come buddy?

it has full secreen controls also

use Ctrl+Up arrow for 200% volume

Use Alt+Right Arrow for FF

Use Ctrl+Right Arrow for Long duration FF

Use Space to Pause and Play movie

which else Full Screen Control u require to play a movie?

Zeeshan never likes using shortcuts I believe. He always complains that against VLC. :) (And about UI, you can take some time to find a good theme)

Its a valid thing though, from a beginner point of view I'd like a small scroller below my video, but I am not one and I absolutely love shortcuts instead of ugly interfaces of players popping around to help.

^^Even I loves keyboard shortcuts

they are awsome in case of VLC
I dislike media player coz it never have such a gud shortcuts

Winamp have awsome Global Hotkeys but it supports very less file types as compare to VLC Player

i have to use shortcuts in VLC . but the advantage with the scroller is that i can jump directly to the exact point i want to in the video rather than go forward or backward using KB shortcuts .

n there r only 2 steps in VLC , 10secs n 60 secs , you can't go forward or backward less than that .

Also , skins don't work on my system(i think coz i ain't got GFX card) , but nyways . comparing to WMP 11 , VLC player is far behind.

heck , VLC even has a beautiful Full-screen interface in Mac , y can't they just port it for windows :mad:

And you can't possibly call this ugly

VLC is behind WMP 11 ONLY in UI. Not in its ability. :) WMP 11 purely sucks in its ability to play videos. Even with K-Lite and others installed separately one at a time, it always had sync problems with my downloaded shows. MPC on the other hand, played it very fine.

Hardcore fans? :lol: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder :p I like geeky whitewashed interfaces like the Windows Classic look. And look what, a hardcore windows supporter hates the history of windows by not liking it :D So he's not hardcore enough yet, maybe he needs to watch more hard stuff :p
