Alright so I tried it out and here's my thoughts....
On the positive side, some of my videos (codec shown in original post) now work fine with VLC.
On the negative side:
-
I have no problem with fullscreen however there are no video controls whatsoever which for me completely defeats what I wanted to do. (I can play these videos natively on my smart TV however my TV cannot skip ahead hence why I need a GUI with easy to use controls for the family).
-
My other videos don't show any picture (not even the first frame), codec shown below:
-
There are now VLC files all over my user folder (Can I delete them??) as well as a VLC folder in there. Originally VLC is in another program folder along with all the other programs keeping my user folder neat.
4) I have lost nearly 1GB of space !!!!
Is there anyway to revert the changes made as unfortunately the benefit of being able to only play and not easily control some videos (which my TV can already do) is not worth losing such a large amount of space.....??
