VLC, the video player from Videolan.org is my favourite video player. It does pretty much everything you can think of. I use it a lot to view technical videos from the web and have found one feature I really like.

It has a sharpen feature which comes in really handy when viewing screen recording demos. The processing by some of the video websites like youtube and myspace often degrades the image quality, this coupled with the fact that the Flash format isn't that good with text in videos. Quicktime is much better.

VLC has a sharpen facility, something I have started using in the recent 1.0 release. It makes all the barely readable text on a lot of screen tutorial videos better. And it is also good for all 'other' videos as well.

I suggest you try it out.
