Hey guys, what are your opinions of VLC as a main media player?

I only ask cos it starts up faster than anything else I have, uses a little more RAM but this is not a problem. The main thing is that playing an AVI will use around 15% cpy in WMP, about 20% in BSPlayer and 2%!!!!!!!!! in VLC.

ANyone care to enlighten me as to why it uses so little CPU compared to everything else?

It's pretty much all I use as a media player. It has played everything I have thrown at it (including a file Gspot didn't recognize), and I only don't use it when I'm watching a movie with separate subtitles.

I'm also curious as to why it uses so little CPU space.

It anoys the hell out of me that you can't stretch the picture though. Essential for me.

it just doesn't do stuff as well as media player classic, by that I mean it glitches sometimes, and the UI is a bit sluggish and backwards.

I have it on my system, but media player calssic just seems to play better and is easier to use, so I tend to keep using that.
