#Vlc player vs quicktime mp4#
(eg, would re-muxing them help?) I have some newer videos I encoded to MP4 (using Handbrake) and these play fine in Quicktime/Picasa, so I wonder if the older videos are slightly out of spec? I've heard this over and over, but I've compared VLC with other players and have never found a difference in image output. As well as being able to configure the mouse buttons. Likely there are other differences as well.
I'm wondering if there is any way to fix this short of re-encoding the videos. IIRC PotPlayer allows two concurrent subtitles and has more comprehensive hotkyes. So right now I'm out of luck if I want to view the video in Picasa. Yes, I know the simple answer is 'don't use quicktime player' but my issue is I organize all my personal photos and videos using Picasa, and Picasa seems to insist on rendering MP4 files using quicktime, not directshow. It is the go-to software for playing all types of media. show more VLC Media Player vs QuickTime Player opinions Most users think VLC Media Player is a great alternative to QuickTime Player.

I've now found that while the videos play perfectly fine using Directshow ( Windows Media Player), VLC, and MPC, they are choppy and distorted when using the quicktime player. (These were video clips I took with my camera). I have a large number of videos I encoded to MP4 a few years back.
