not streaming, i meant i physically downloaded it and started playing it. The resolution is good, but it gets choppy, jerks every second. I had no choice but to use another alternative - KMplayer

Oh, ok, it happened to me when I streamed from a PC to the other due to the WiFi, I guess. Have you tried with other movies?

i knew the record ability but the rest...Cool

The feature I use all the time is snapshot. It takes perfect screen caps of any video you are playing.

other movies are fine, except for 1080p ones

I was using VLC for playing files and don't know that it's a DVDripper

Very neat. I love the .rar option. I wonder how it caches it for performance issues on large files (1080p)

You can also capture anything that's playing on your screen, not just what's playing in VLC (ie webcam):

Here's an ubuntu guide:

Try as I might, I can't get it to download youtube videos, or even play them.

Any suggestions?
