Portable VLC Media Player 3.0.17.4 (x64) Multilingual
VLC Portable is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols.
Cleverly organize your media files
On the visual side, the application stays clean, with no shiny buttons or elements to enhance the interface. However, accessing the ‘Options’ menu gives you the possibility to customize the layout or even completely change the skin with the help of downloadable content.
Regardless of your style choice, it is capable of playing both video and audio files. You can bring up the playlist editor, which can either be docked or left floating around the desktop. Files can be managed from here, with the possibility to simply have desired items dragged over an indicated area.
You can save configurations to play later on, having them combined, music and movies. Additionally, you are able to select one of the available radio stations provided, and it is most likely to even stumble across the one you have your frequency tuned to.
Enhance your video and audio experience
Giving VLC media player a try takes some of your time, having you snoop through every corner for hidden treasures. Each button you press brings up new possibilities. A 12-band equalizer is put at your disposal so that you can carefully adjust frequency sliders to fine-tune sound. You can also make use of one of the available presets, but with no option to save custom configurations.
The case also applies to motion pictures, with adjustments sliders for a decent amount of categories, such as Crop, Colors, Geometry, AtmoLight, and several more. You can easily switch to fullscreen for a clearer view, and there are even a few audio visualization options.
