VLC media player is the best free media playing software that can play almost all know formats be it high quality (HD) video, or low quality sounds. It even doubles the audio volume of any media file with sound. The best thing about this player is that it plays even broken video files with ease. Althought vlc player is my favorite but it doesn’t contain fade-like effect with fullscreen controls. Navigating and using control of vlc is little bit uneasy. Hence in this post, I am listing important vlc keyboard shortcuts which is must if you use vlc media player to unleash entertainment.
