VLC Media Player 1.1.11
# Free and Open Source cross-platform media player
# Supports a large number of multimedia formats, without the need for additional codecs
# Features a complete streaming server, with extended features (video on demand, on the fly transcoding, ...)
It can also convert media files, transcode and act as a streaming server over unicast or multicast and IPv4 or IPv6. It doesn`t need any external codec, program or codec pack to work.
There was a time when video files all conformed to some basic requirements and could be played without protest using any media software. As technologies change and licensing becomes more restrictive and specific, simply playing a video file has now become a challenge and thanks to the plethora of obscure proprietary formats now available, finding a media player that works for the majority has become more hassle than it#8217s worth. Thankfully the open source community have come up with a solution in the form of VLC, otherwise know as VideoLAN Client.
This cross platform player doesn`t strike as particularly good-looking when put side by side with Windows Media Player or Winamp, but you`ll appreciate its far superior usability within moments. Its power can be demonstrated with any video files you happen to be downloading, which can be played in whatever form they exist, be it an actual video format or an unclassified temporary one. As you preview a video, it will skip the parts that have yet to be downloaded and let you see the rest #8211 Media Player in comparison, can`t preview files in this way.
