Typically in the Anime scene VLC is known as being inferior. Many cases MPC-HC with the MadVR renderer and Xy-Vsfilter or XySubFilter for subtitles are recommended for superior playback.
Do you have any input on this, perhaps to debunk the inferior claim (maybe it's due to subtitle rendering?) or if any improvements to catch up?
Anyway, thanks for the software. I love VLC, using the portableapps.com version here at work to stream radio and watch TV shows during lunch hour.
While this used to be true, it's not anymore. We have a good SSA rendering platform, we support HLSL shaders since this release and we have good up and down scalers...
I think the reputation on that end has been a bit overblown for a few year now. It was most definitely true circa 2009 or 2010, but I watch a fair amount of anime and have had a pretty solid subtitle experience for the last few years. Solid enough that I rarely use other players anymore.
