Lifehacker and others have talked about VLC and I ended up giving it to a law firm who was unable to view a DVD-recorded deposition using Windows Media 11. Reason why we went this route: time and simplicity. Whereas Windows Media gives you no easy answer as to what codec is missing [and I’m not so sure it’s their job to tell you – you want to watch the thing] – VLC just launches and runs. VLC isn’t as people-friendly, you’ll need to use the force to figure things out if they aren’t immediately intuitive (playlists, etc.) but it’s a great little app. I put it on every new laptop I set up.
