If they changed that awful "Road Cone" icon, I'm sure their downloads would increase.

vlc does contain all its own codecs and does not require any system libraries.Which means in can play mostly any thing. Which means all the codecs are older versions though which is my only issue.

Very powerful media player though. I think KMPlayer has the edge though.
No fate but what we make
