What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

I use VideoLan to play any video file. Whether it's for watching movies or compiling clips for work presentations, VideoLan is my go-to software for playing the media. One of the best features of VideoLan is that it allows you to slow down or speed up the playback. If the audio of the media you're watching isn't in sync with the video, there are hotkeys using which you can delay one of them until they're well aligned. For files with dual audio, VideoLan gives you the option to choose between one. You can also create and add subtitles for any video you're watching from the tools. In addition, VideoLan also has a built-in subtitles search system that can automatically fetch them for you if they exist anywhere on the internet.
