Review Summary
Users find VLC Capture easy to use and appreciate its ability to open streams automatically in VLC when configured correctly. However, many report issues such as inability to capture streams from YouTube, confusing setup requiring enabling VLC's web interface, false warnings about VLC status, lack of batch deletion for videos, and recent updates breaking functionality.
Pros
- Easy to use and convenient according to some users.
- Automatically opens streams in VLC player when configured properly.
- Works flawlessly for certain users when set up correctly.
Cons
- Fails to capture streams from YouTube and some other websites, making it useless for some users.
- Requires manual configuration in VLC settings (enabling web interface) which can be confusing.
- Sometimes incorrectly warns that VLC is not launched or configured properly even when it is.
- Cannot delete multiple captured videos at once; must delete individually.
- Recent updates have caused it to stop working for some users.
