It is not the best at all. VLC will play just about any video or audio file out of the box. WMP needs codec packs to acheive the same functionality.

I have all the codec packs I need installed. What does VLC do that WMP can't?

there is Hot Key support But NOT global key support.

if your playing a game Keys are deactivated.

this is been requested on the VLC Forum (as i looked it up) but not been implemented.

HOT key only works if the app is activate

Ah. My bad.
