It has been a long journey, but VLC for Windows 8 is finally available. This app has been in development since December of 2012. Today they finally announced on Kickstarter, where the campaign began, that VLC can be downloaded now from the Windows Store. Unfortunately. at this time it is only available on Windows 8 as a beta, and cant be download on Windows RT. What does it have to offer?
Features
-
Play every kind of video
-
Music playback
-
MKV support
-
FLAC support
So, pretty much what you would expect from VLC. It can play any file type you throw at it. The app works on Windows 8 and 8.1, but as we mentioned above, not RT. That is kind of a big fail. People wanted VLC in the Windows Store specifically for devices that can’t already download the VLC desktop app. A Windows RT version is indeed coming, but it should have been here at launch. Are you going to use this app over the desktop VLC application? Why or why not?
