If you watch anything in high quality you're actively sabotaging yourself by using vlc. The colors on it are fucked for anything after 1080p (and even 1080p itself iirc).
You can download mpv and compare it yourself, the colors and quality is much better on mpv. Vlc is a relic from the old days that needs to be forgotten unless you don't really care about torrenting or watching anything in high quality.
Pot Player is so superior I have no idea who is still falling for the VLC meme
So this. Take the asiatic pill anons, there's no other way.
This is also a good player, but it would have been nice if it was open source.
thought you were replying to someone else so that nta is redundant, but mpv is really good. If you download movies then you should compare it yourself. Not sure if it's dogshit like vlc, I haven't used mpc in a long time.
i've used VLC for my video needs for 2 decades and am not about to stop anytime soon. back in the day nothing could compete with the amount of codec / format support that VLC has.
however, there may be something to what people are saying about VLC and color representation. i've noticed it has problems with displaying HDR content on an SDR screen, as an example. the colors get all muted.
if i play the same HDR file in MPV it displays normally. not sure what's going on there but i'm sure it'll be fixed eventually.
It's been like that for a long time now, I wouldn't count on it. VLC was the gold standard back then but unfortunately they can't keep up with mpv or other modern video plays like potplayer.
To be honest with you I have no idea. All I know is that it's been an issue for a long time and a lot of people have mentioned it, so there's no way they don't know about it. I'm guessing fixing it isn't easy and involves a lot of work. Most people also use vlc as nothing more than a basic media player, and even people that download movies and watch them with vlc probably aren't too concerned about the quality/colors; so maybe fixing this issue for these cases just doesn't matter to them.
I ended up uninstalling vlc and switching to mpv because of this a few years ago. It doesn't seem like they have any intention of fixing it.
Good old vlc

>i dont remember if mpv has thst function
you can only really do this for .ass or .srt text subs
once you've made your own style you can press "u" to override it, or put sub-ass-override=force in your config
vlc uses libass so it should theoretically be able to do this as well
use mpv

are the VLC devs not aware of the problem, is it terribly difficult to fix, or what's the problem?
