VLC Media Player Latest News and Updates: Get Ready to Download the Latest VLC Player 2.2.0

Even though it requires no introduction, the universal media supporter VLC has just gotten better.  VLC media player is renowned for its ability to support almost all kinds of video and audio formats but the 2.2.0 version is a big plus in front of the previous version. The player has got many fixes and added several new features demonstrating even mobile support.

The flashy feature of the PC version is the introduction of the Resume option that was previously wanting.  Video files can now be resumed on reopening instead of playing from the start or skipping forward.

The compatibility of the player with the various formats has also been improved significantly. In addition to all this, support for new HD codecs, opus, VP9 and H.265/HEVC has been enhanced. You can also download extensions from within the application instead of using third party downloads.

Another highlighted feature of VLC 2.2.0 is the auto-rotation of phone movies. This is a leap in VLC technology and it fights Vertical Video Syndrome efficiently.  A great addition to watching videos comfortably is the VLSub extension. This extension allows the download of subtitles from the application. You can easily download subtitles from the web using OpenSubtitles now.

New versions of VLC have also been released for iOS, WinRT, Android, Android TV, Windows RT and Windows Phone.

The latest version of VLC has gotten lots of debugs. The formats supported earlier have also been updated to increase its scope. Enhancements have been made in Ogg, MP4, WMV formats and there has been some overlay in Blu-Ray.

It is exciting to see the changes VLC has gone through and the update on the VLC player resulting from over a year of volunteer work is definitely a success.
