VLC meets the following requirements for me for a tool in this product category: With its open source roots and strong community support, VLC is kind of the desktop version of FFMPEG (a opensource, command-line tool designed primarily for server-based video transcoding). One tool that has filled exactly this need for a long time and seems poised to continue to do so is VLC Media Player ( ).
This leaves a gap for video geeks who need a tool for streamlined video/audio playback and editing–something that will play back your videos without trying to be your media catalogue, and will edit them without forcing you down the rabbit hole of a full-fledged non linear editing application like Final Cut. For example, Apple hasn’t updated QuickTime 7 in many months, and doesn’t offer a version of QuickTime X for Windows. With media center applications like iTunes taking over the desktop in the last few years, old school media players like QuickTime and Windows Media Player have to some extent been edged out of the mix.
