I have used many video players, but this beats all of them in terms of the format that is supported. You name a format and this supports it. Video Quality and Sound quality matches that with other competitors.

Almost everything. VLC is the absolute worst program. So many updates and different video formats to deal with and I truly can’t stand having to use it. It is not user friendly and sometimes the fast forward/rewind features don’t work. I hate it

The ease of use of the media center is great for people with little computer experience.
