VLC is great

My favorite part about VLC is how they’ve been offered shatloads of money to monetize it and they just go “nah we’re good” and remain on keeping it open source

If any of the VLC team are out there I wanna say thank you from all of us

VLC has now ai in their stuff. BUT its actually usefull and not just in name.

If I had money, they’d be first in line to get some; and i’d pay them a little too.

I accidentally dl’d a 3d movie and VLC was the only one I could get it to work on. It was able to crop from the left(or right) so only one side was visible! I also have potplayer and it took waaay more work to accomplish the same thing

Yeah I’ve been using them for years myself lmao

Thank you VLC!

I love VLC. It is one of the first pieces of software that get installed on any fresh install of Windows.

Now that I’ve said that and since this topic is about VLC, I’m gonna tell you all something. For this to work you need a gpu that is at least Nvidia 10th gen but I’m not sure if it works on all of the cards. It is about Super Resolution, Nvidia’s AI upscaling. Don’t expect it to work well on really low resolution videos but anything that is 720 or 1080 it makes them so much better, especially if the bitrate isn’t that good. I wouldn’t expect much out of something like a bluray 1080p remux or something like that.

Just open VLC, go to tools, preferences, enable all settings in the bottom left, scroll down to video > output modules, select Direct3d11 video output, hit the arrow to the left of output modules in the menu, select direct3d11, change video upscaling mode to super resolution, save.

Now whenever you watch something through VLC the GPU will upscale the video using AI and the image is so much better as long as it meets the requirements of what I stated earlier. You could even try on lower resolution stuff but if the quality is really low it can look weird.

Make sure to disable this if you are watching something high quality. I’m hoping VLC adds in an option to enable/disable this quickly in the future.

Robert Evans AND VLC?! ❤️

how does vlc help w/ pirating media?

Now, I like them even more and I want to start contributing to their open source repos.

They sold something, after all.

VLC 🫡💚

These guys are actually one of my opensource heroes! They denied monetization!

So they show up wearing traffic cones for hats and they’re “wizards”, but when I do it I’m just crazy?

Lmao. It’s still the best video app out there. This cracked me up. The only thing that could have spiced up the booth a bit would have been some sweet wizard sleeves pics in the background. 😂
