What are the best VLC alternatives out there?

Hey guys, I have been using VLC Media Player for ages, but I’m curious about what other options are out there. I’ve heard about some like MPC-HC and MPV, but IDK if they’re as good. Anyone have any favorites or experience with them?

MPC-HC is my go-to! It’s super lightweight and free. Definitely worth checking out.

What’s lightweight mean? Like it doesn’t take up much space?

Yeah, exactly! It runs smoothly without hogging your RAM or storage.

I really like PotPlayer too! It has a ton of features and is pretty customizable.

Is it hard to set up? I’m not great with tech stuff lol.

Not at all! Just download and install. The default settings are good to go.

IINA is awesome for Mac users! It has a sleek interface and plays almost everything.

I’ve never heard of that one. Is it free?

Yep, totally free! Give it a try if you’re on a Mac.

SMPlayer is pretty cool too. It has built-in codecs, so you don’t need to install anything extra.

That sounds convenient! I hate dealing with extra downloads.

For sure! Makes it super easy to just hit play.
