Mpv is better
And the dude who maintains VLC do not even make money from it, at all!
I just discovered something that VLC REALLY didn’t like to play. A 4K50fps JPEG2000 YUV444 12bit lossless ~48 GB video that was only 1 minute long.
To be fair the bitrate of the video is insane at ~5700 Mbit/s. The bitrate is so insane that you should really consider using an NVME drive for playback.
MPC-HC could kinda play it but only with extreme stutter and lag. My CPU (Ryzen 9 5900x) was completely maxed out.
I think you need hardware acceleration for a video like this.

ok but why would anyone have a video like that
Me opening /dev/urandom as a raw video stream to watch some nice relaxing RGB static.

Whenever someone ask me media player for Linux I suggest MPV but for Binbows I suggest VLC. I don’t know why?
I do the same because VLC has an installer on Windows while MPV you have to manually extract from a compressed folder and then run the install script from command line
