VLC Media Player Download My family and I just came back from vacation and wanted to watch the videos we recorded. We were really looking forward to it but our Windows Media Player kept on crashing. I did a quick search for other media players out there and discovered VLC Media Player. I did another search for the download and found Downloadster. It only offers this one software so I didn't have to do a lot of reading. I knew what I was looking for and quickly hit the "Free Download" button. My family watched our videos shortly after and the media player worked great. This site was just what I needed.

Easy download and nice site. The VLC media player was a nice download to find. To start off with, the download page didn’t look shady. I am careful about downloading anything onto my computer, but this looked legit. I liked that it was able to play any file. I have had some music or video files that I wanted to listen to or view and couldn’t on the software I had before. Another cool thing was that while viewing I can adjust the settings. I can be watching a video and do things, like adding in text or adjusting the color. This was a new concept to me. The VLC also allows you to convert 1 file type to another. This is a great tool for those with MP3 players or Ipods. I have had so many music files in the past that I was not able to transfer over because I got a new MP3 or music player. The download process itself was pretty simple, just the usual click and go scenario. It took me about 3 minutes, but if you have a good internet connection it will be much faster.

Free applications in one place Downloadster is a one stop shop for your basic PC needs. The interface is bright and well designed, and the software provided is all free and from reputable companies (7zip, Openoffice, VLC, etc). The site is a little hard to navigate, just in that it defaulted to VLC media player, and you don’t see the other software options unless you page all the way down to the bottom, and then they are just single text entries, rather than a button, so some users might miss them. Other than that, Downloadster has a great selection of free software. The software in question also covers all of the standard needs that a Windows user might have. These apps also tend to be the recognized standards for whatever particular use they are intended for. It is rather nice to have all of these applications in a single location, free of viruses, and not have to search all over the web.

Media player, nice product but needs a different layout To start, the layout of downloadster.org is okay. When I stumble on websites like this, I typically write them off as some sort of scam. There seems to be too much going on and I don’t usually like to waste my time. Because of this, I would recommend simplifying the downloadster.org website. It is a nice looking website, but I can see people like me being turned away when they’re used to scams for “free products” which really just turn out to be some sort of virus. This product is only for windows, so that imposes limitations. I would try to open up the product, as a lot of people my age are working on macs. However, the product itself is a very nice one. If we’re going off of that, I have no complaints. I know I have had issues in the past with wrong file types that will not play on my computer, and this product can help. It is able to play many different types of files, which is a great addition. It would be very nice for downloading a movie that may not be the typical file, and things of that sort.

Simple to use site - free downloads on tap I came across Downloadster.org looking for a site to get hold of the VLC media player I'd read about. The first page I clicked to from Google was the download page for just that player. Super easy, no mucking about. The player is free to download as advertised, no nasty surprises. The process itself is easy - it only took a few minutes to complete if that - and I was up watching my videos moments later. The interface is simple and intuitive, but if you want something more bespoke, you can add a skin to it and customize it yourself. The site isn't all that big. It focuses on providing free downloads of some of the key applications almost everybody uses. So, you can get hold of a PDF reader, the OpenOffice suite and an impressive compression application called 7zip, each from its own single download page. Navigation is really straightforward too - just scroll to the menu at the bottom of the site and you can basically get anywhere from there.
