Look for the best video player for Mac? Check the top media player for Mac (El Capitan incl.) to play HD 1080P/720P, 4K UHD videos movies in MKV, AVI, FLV, WMV etc on Mac (MacBook/MacBook Air/MacBook Pro/iMac/5K Retina iMac more).

I've experienced something similar with VLC. Typically, I play vids in full screen on my second display connected to my MacBook. When I am not connected to the external display and I play a vid, VLC seems to want to still play in this dual display mode. So it's like it's playing on a ghost second display. If this is your situation, the easiest solution is to simply press 'Escape'. That pulls the vid out of full screen mode (on the ghost second monitor) and displays it in windowed mode. Mozilla firefox for mac 10.6.8 free download. From there you should be good.

I just wrote this same thing in another similar VLC post today. Must be something in the air.).
