VLC Media Player
Installed it specifically to capture some screenshots of a specific movie I have on DVD, unfortuately the one thing it refuses to do is play THAT particular DVD.
I also thought it might be used to capture YouTube videos, but I couldn't make it work within 10-15 minutes of trying that, and that's about all the time I was willing to spend.
So far, zero for zero success with this program. Before I summarily uninstall it, can anybody tell me why VLC is supposed to be so great?
I don't have hours of free time to scour message boards for obscure tips on patches I need to install or way/the/hell/far/down/vaguely/titled/parameters to get a thing to do what it is supposed to do. I want something that somebody MADE SURE works before I waste my time. Yeah, open source is cool and everything IF IT ACTUALLY WORKS.
