Summary

Video Controller allows online videos to be sent to VLC player with 1-click. This bypasses advertisements and means no interruptions. Limitations are also bypassed and users are able to watch videos in full screen, even if the website the video originated from restricts it. CPU usage is greatly reduced as users can play videos using VLC, whilst not being required to keep the web page, and all its elements, open. It's possible to watch multiple events, from multiple websites, at the same time, whilst using less CPU than it would take to display 1 video and it's corresponding website. Users can record videos directly from VLC, where they would otherwise be unable if the video was viewed online. All of this is achieved with simple and effortless, 1-click operation.
