This page contains some usability complains for VLC.

Lets start.

  • Hard-to-guess shortcuts to operate with the movie. E.g. shift+arrows to rewind. -- it could be greatly improved with arrows-only navigation. => This should be easy to do in the new interface.
  • Non-responsive shortcuts in WX interface. Sometimes they simply don't work (after moving out of the fullscreen). => Qt4 does work the same way ? -- no, seems like it somewhat better in QT4, still to test more.
  • Unresponsive stop/play. Video stops after some amount of time. -- kinda better in QT4 interface.
  • Preferences are way too big. You can navigate thru them all the day long and you won't find what you're really looking for. => Simple_Preferences
  • Adding/removing a video filter during playback (i.e. enabling de-interlace or switching de-interlace methods), often causes video window to resize.
  • Changing video aspect ratio disables video filters that have been added during playback (i.e. de-interlace)
