What is good about VLC is that it is an open-source application which means that you can use all of its features at absolutely free of cost without spending a single penny from your pocket. I have been personally using VLC for past 3 years and this is the best media player that i have used thus far out of all other media players. It is very lightweight application as compared to other media player apps and thus doesn’t affect your system performance. As i said above it supports various file formats and can effectively run most of the  media formats available currenlty but still few users were found reporting an issue with VLC that is facing “No suitable decoder module : VLC does not support the audio or video format “undf”. Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.” while playing media files though this error varies from user to user depending upon the file format they are trying to run.

Note – Basically such error often results because of incomplete file or corrupted file or due to some internal issues within the file and if there exists some real issue within your media file then there’s no way that you can fix this error or play this file format with any media player but there are some cases also where despite of correct media file free from errors VLC does not support UNDF format error occurs and these can be fixed with some simple ways that are mentioned below. Therefore if you pretty sure about your file then only you should proceed with the following given fixes else there’s no meaning of trying to run corrupted media files.

    Thank you. Didnt expect it to work, but it did in a way.

    VLC(mine is rather old, version 1.1.5 The Luggage) still shows error, but the content plays with the MPC that came along with the CCCP.

    It might as well work with the MPC alone, but still having an additional pack of codecs like the CCCP would come in handy.

    Hi Pankaj,

    Thanks for the fix. However, I uninstalled and re-installed VLC and it worked like a charm! I did download and install the CODECs as guided earlier, however that didn’t seem to fix the UNDF format error. A re-install helped and everything is good and pure again 😀
