First thing to note is that if you have full Windows 8, and not Windows RT, you should just install the desktop version of VLC. We don’t want to knock it too much as this is still a Beta and is totally free (no in-app purchases or upgrades) but it comes with a host of issues. VLC’s interface is clean and suited to touch
Unfortunately, in almost every other respect VLC for Windows 8 is found lacking. If you really need a Windows app media player that plays pretty much anything you throw at it then the VLC is for you. It managed to play every file we tried including MKV, OGG, AVI, MP4, MP3, 3GP, MOV, DivX, OGV, FLV and a few other even more obscure ones. In this respect VLC for Windows 8 doesn’t disappoint at all. One thing VLC has always been great at is supporting a multitude of file types from MP4 to AVIs and everything in between.
