    I couldn't get this program to play the DVD audio. I tried all the settings for audio that were available & got nothing. The video was fine and clear, Too bad I just couldn't hear a thing. I made sure the mute was off & volume was on & turned up.
    I'm looking forward to the final product because I hate using Power DVD & uninstalled it long ago.

    not only does it play pretty much everything...you can record from a file while it's playing and you can change the visual properties (brightness, contrast, saturation) which is great for movies taken on digital camera when they're too dark - put the two features together and you can re-record your video so you can actually see things. and the software is free!

    has no one else discovered this? also, you can set it so that it will automatically play the next movie file in a directory. great if you've downloaded a series of files (ie, tv shows) to keep it going so you don't have to tell it to open the next file or if a file is split between multiple files - makes it as seamless as possible without doing anything. (you can disable this feature though) The other apps at altools are good too. And free!

    Please forgive me if I'm wrong, but don't VideoLAN also "bundle" codecs (which is why it's a 15MB download)? I say "bundle" because VLC codecs can't be used by any other app, how ALShow handles this I don't really know.

    Besides comparing VideoLAN and ALShow isn't really fair. VideoLAN is a great and powerfull app, but I wouldn't recommend it to my old granny (to many strange settings). ALShow on the other hand is a nice and pretty easy to use app and the codec center is a really good idea!

    Why bundle a player with codecs, if you have VideoLAN available?
