The earlier versions of VLC in beta were bad. VLC is now much better out of beta... but still, compared with MX Player, VLC has a lot to improve in terms of interface and functionality. I have both MX Player and VLC installed on my phone, and MX Player is definitely better.

There is no quick forward or backward buttons in VLC... you have to manually do it, and that doesn't work when you want to go forward only a few seconds.

MX Player still remains the best free video player on Android.
