Pros

It's a player and it works.

Controls...

Summary

Just about everything on modern computers is controlled by a mouse. Not VLC. Play/Pause is a Space bar... Seriously??? And no option to re-assign it to the mouse either. I desperately tried to like it but with this "I must sit at my desk when I watch anything" attitude of the developers is just not working for me.

And yes, you can: 1. move your mouse to view cursor; 2. move it down so that the controls become visible; 3. Locate Pause button and click it; 4. Upon resuming wait until cows come home for the controls to disappear from the screen... etc. Or... Click - instant Pause, another - Resume as it works in, say, MPC-HC. MPC-HC maybe unstable at times but it's far easier to live with. In fact, the only reason VLC is on my PC at all is that it's default player for Subtitle Edit... I wouldn't bother with it otherwise.
