When I bought my laptop, my friends suggested me the VLC media player software.It really is a trump for all the the different media formats provided worldwide.
This free, cross platform media player supports many file formats for both video and audio input.Also, it is capable of streaming media over web, thus ensuring access to the internet services.
One of the best feature is that it can play some media files which are under downloading.The shortcut keys are well designed which makes it really simple to perform the required operations.It can also get a screenshot of the playing media and set it as your desktop wallpaper.Many other such features are worth trying.
VLC is available for Android, BeOS, BSD, iOS, Linux, OS X, OS/2, QNX, Solaris, Syllable and Windows.You probably cant find a PC without VLC media player.
