VLC may have been one of the first universal type multi-platform players that could handle everything without the need for a system-polluting codec pack, but it sure never felt like a true Windows program.
Clunky UI, convoluted settings, and general lack of niceties found in other modern players really hold it back (even though it "just works" for most folks).
Not to mention taking forever between versions. Will 4.0 ever be released?? And finally have seek bar preview, for example? Maybe someday VLC will be a worthy alternative again.

Without these problems, it would have been almost perfect for me:
1. Volume normalization is very bad. As it tries to constantly adjust volume up and down, sound is uneven and right down nasty. At best, it's annoying. At worst, it's headache inducing.
2. Video playback is choppy when I play videos that have been converted from PAL to NTSC, and vice versa.

I'm using VLC version "f".
It does play .wmv files fine. That's a positive!
However,
* It displays .3gp (3gpp) video, but has no sound.
* It displays .3g2 (3gpp2) video, but has no sound.
* It does not even open a .avi file!

I get no sound on VLC Portable. Regardless of the file I have no sound. I have an audiophile 24/96 soundcard and never had trouble with sound before downloading the VLC Portable player.

Thanks, it's in!
Your review will appear once it has been checked.
1. Try disabling the time stretch audio option. Or put the dolby surround option on. Maybe that can be help.
2. for converted videos, I use yadif deinterlacing and it gives very good results. Maybe toggle GPU acceleration on - it works for me. VLC is my go to media player for all videos I get from internet.
For my movies, I use Mediaplayer CLassic HomeCinema coz I use ffdshow and haali- gives me best quality
