I tried playing the video with the Windows Media Player, and the video is also rendered at a resolution of 1920x1080. When I play it using VLC, it is displayed at resolution 1920x1080 and if I take a snapshot with VLC, the saved image also has a resolution of 1920x1080. Things like Handbrake, Mplayer, Xine, Plex, Blender, YouTube (the back-end), MPC-HC, Avanti, Xmedia Recode, and a bunch of others use the same software to provide the same abilities.I have an interlaced video with MTS file format, which was captured using a HD camera. VLC isn't the only software that uses ffmpeg.
So people outside the USA, where the laws don't cover it, have worked out how to support the various formats and published software for it - which then can be used as optional bits and pieces in things like FFmpeg and VLC. A lot of video software is covered by patents in the USA. Some of that software that FFmpeg (and VLC as a result) is in kind of a legal grey area. FFmpeg built in various formats based on information the authors could find online, and whenever they found someone that wrote software for a new format, they added support for that in FFmpeg. Together, they provide a foundation for building software that can read / write / translate audio and video. VLC owes its ability to play just about everything mainly to a project called FFmpeg that developed two code pieces of software: libavcodec and libavformat. SVP + madVR requires a fairly high-end computer. Not included in KCP, but I also use SVP (Smooth Video Project) to upgrade 24fps files to 60fps. MadVR may cause lower-end computers to explode, but there are other renderer options that are less resource intensive (although you won't get the same level of quality). Or just use KCP which has everything included: Player Splitter Decoder Renderer (and also subtitle renderer is in there somewhere but I don't know exactly where to put it).īasically all you need for perfect playback of everything is MPC-HC as your player, madVR as your renderer, LAV as your splitter and your decoder, and (for anime fansubs or anything else with fancy subtitles) xy-VSFilter or XySubFilter as your subtitle renderer. VLC actually has a lot of problems and tend to struggle with things like modern anime fansubs that use 10-bit video, complex subtitle styling, etc.īesides VLC that takes an "all-in-one" approach, there's usually a modular chain of interlocking components that looks something like this: If you install a codec pack like KCP, K-lite, or CCCP, you'll find you actually have much better compatibility and performance than with VLC.
The only thing that's unique about VLC is that it has all the various codecs, filters, renderers, splitters, etc built directly into it wheres other players utilize a modular architecture that can sometimes be a little bit complex and confusing. VLC's hardly unique in being able to play anything.
