A Great Media Player

Windows Media Player and iTunes are great media players, but unfortunately, they do not play all of the major file formats.  This is especially true of the flash formats (flv and f4v).  Many of the most popular media players have trouble with these formats.

However, there is one media player that seems to be able to play every format it sees.  VLC Media Player has many of the same functions as the others, but it requires less resources and can play a large number of formats.  In fact, it can even work through corrupted files without shutting down.

VLC has the capability to play audio and video files on your computer or off of a disk.  It can also play streaming audio/video and video captured from other sources.

If VLC has one weakness, it is the ability to organize files into playlists.  While its capabilities are much improved over previous versions, it still has a long way to go.

If you want to try out VLC media player, you can download it here.
