The only difference that I can see right now is the support of Real Media files out of the box in SMPlayer. SMPlayer is also using less resources than VLC. A quick check on a 500 Megabyte video revealed that SMPlayer was using 14 Megabytes of RAM and 6 Megabytes of Virtual Memory while VLC was using 40 Megabytes of RAM and 40 Megabytes of Virtual Memory.

Switched from VLC to SMPlayer a while ago though and never looked back. David yes I also prefer players that come with their own codecs but one should make sure to update them regularly.

So often there are issues with movie playback and editing even. However, I think VLC, with its essentially inbuilt codecs, gets around most of those issues without one having to worry about which codecs pack is installed. Windows Media Player is a different matter, of course, it perpetually calling home like an immature child on a gap year trip with no friends. Nice find.
