Quicktime on Mac OS remains a shitshow to this day. I still have not figured out how to use third party srt files for subtitles.
You can use VLC on OSX as well. It works great!

On a related note, VLC's traffic cone icon comes from a club member drunkenly stealing one, which then ballooned into the organization collecting them and eventually inspired the icon. https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?t=9792
Interesting. It’s a terrible, stupid, confusing symbol for this project. [edit] if the point is to be cryptic and appealing to nerds, it succeeds in spades [/edit]

I love VLC's engine, but have never been a fan of its UI, especially the configuration interface. How well separated are the UI and engine? Building a new UI for VLC seems like a fun project.
Try mpv, it's essentially a player with no UI - it has a protocol UIs can use to be implemented on top of it.
The most difficult challenge was to survive constant pressures from crapware for bundling deals. Filezilla and alikes succumbed to that long time ago while VLC stand above the crowd. Kudos, hats off and happy birthday!

Since several people have said "it opens everything!" I thought I'd list a couple it doesn't handle: HYMT codec (multithreaded version of Huffyuv, useful for lossless capture of HD) UT Video codec various versions (also a multithreaded lossless codec set, I believe some versions VLC can play... but not the last several), oh and some FFV1 variants (clearly ffmpeg's fault, but still). All the above work fine with MPC-H…
Send me those files. We should have fixed both in the last version.

Please keep staying away from it. FileZilla burned them-self, everyone moved to alternatives
Like? I want to move to an alternative, but nothing reasonably easy to use and deploy on windows comes close FileZilla for performance.

The best French-born software IMHO :)

In the earlier days of mainstream desktop linux (~2005), video codecs were a complete shitshow. VLC was a godsend during those times - it just worked. Still the first thing I apt-get after a fresh install. If you're reading this team VLC, thank you for your work. Ways to contribute to VLC: http://www.videolan.org/contribute.html
