You can set VLC to pause between each video in your playlist.

If you have several videos in your VLC playlist, you might not want to watch them play continuously, one after the other, but instead want each video to pause before the next one plays. For example, you have a series of classroom lecture videos, and you want to take notes about a lecture right after you finish viewing one before going on to the next video. You can easily enable VLC to pause between each video in the playlist.
