So far, I can't watch anything but those DVDs without region coding. It's also skittish when dealing with time. It works, though, if you just want to sit through the lot of the content and don't disturb anything.

It has high computability but it's incredibly unstable and the UI is is among the worst ever. It's my fall back player for when MPlayer (and Zoom Player and Media Player Classic when on Windows) fails me (rare).

Best player with worst GUI, I use media player classic, and only when it fails, use VLC

An amazing endeavor that surpasses the capabilities of any other media player, free or otherwise. Plays any type of video and audio file I've ever encountered, including DVD files. Put VLC in your send-to shortcuts and right click on your downloaded video_ts folders to watch immediately!
