Users are allowed to stream file or disc within the VLC player. It supports both Windows and Mac systems and it is able to act as a video player as well as a video converter. Part 2: An overview of VLCįeaturing a free open source, VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs, Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. Best of all, it is totally free to play DVDs with VLC on Windows 10. The best workaround may be seeking a free media player for DVD playback on Windows 10. Good news is things will work out eventually and we do not have to rely on Windows DVD player. To what extent does Microsoft think users will accept a DVD player at $15, which does not provide much benefit either? Just imagine how annoying this is, when you insert your DVD disc to the drive, oops! You cannot play it on Windows 10 because you do not purchase the DVD player from its app store. What a nuisance! This is one of the most hateful changes for Windows. Instead, it gears users to purchase the Windows DVD player from Windows app store in order to play DVDs on Windows 10. To our disappointment, Windows has ceased provision of the default media center – Windows media center since Windows 8. Part 1: Why can't directly play DVDs on Windows 10

Part 3: How to play DVDs with VLC on Windows 10.Part 1: Why can't directly play DVDs on Windows 10.The scripted MS advice has been tried, more than once, and is useless, so don't bother with that - I probably need somebody who knows how W10 audio actually works and what's different from W7. Is that really what's necessary? If so, I will just stick with 7 once I have it back and working.

Considering that doing that would require nuking all of my data and software requiring fresh installs on this, my main computer, NVidia 750ti (yes, to check, I did disable nVidia HD Audio device no change)įunny: everything seems to work OK in a laptop that first had Win7 clean-installed on a newly formatted disk before upgrading. Groove Music is less affected (though not immune) likewise WMP and Diamond Cut DC8.5. VLC was my go-to player, but apparently won't do it in 10 - too sensitive to a fundamentally broken audio system. Tried raising the VLC priority to "high" in Task Manager - no improvement.īasically, I.Give.Up.
#VLC MEDIA PLAYER FOR WINDOWS 10 REVIEWS UPDATE#
Cumulative update the next morning apparently reinstalled the Realtek driver which again had to be reverted. Answer Desk (mostly useless) reinstalled 10 (I have image of the Win7 system, which is good since the Answer Desk process destroyed the ability to "go back" ) which made it worse again switching back to the generic driver produced some Realtek driver (for HD Audio on motherboard) was horrible "generic" HD Audio driver slightly betterīut only slightly.
#VLC MEDIA PLAYER FOR WINDOWS 10 REVIEWS UPGRADE#
I did the Windows 10 free upgrade from Win 7 SP1 fully updated sound didn't work at all initially, then started working when rebooted a couple of times. VLC and other audio software worked flawlessly on this same system in Windows 7. It is by far the most sensitive (more so than Groove Music and WMP) to audio problems I'm having with the system, with frequent ticks, pops, dropouts, skips, and what sounds like buffering even when playingįrom the local hard disk. VLC Player does NOT work correctly in Windows 10. Warning: kind of a rant, but I am not happy with Win10 or with VLC running in it.
