Administrator Tarun Posted February 28, 2008 Administrator Share Posted February 28, 2008 VLC (VideoLAN) is a multi-platform multimedia player. It can read DVDs, VCDs, MPEG, and DivX files and from a satellite card. It can also read a stream from a network sent by the VideoLAN Server or another source. The stream can be MPEG 2 TS in UDP or HTTP packets unicasted or multicasted on an IPv4 or IPv6 network.This is a bugfix release.

Administrator Tarun Posted February 29, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted February 29, 2008 I wish they'd release 0.9.0. It looks a great deal better and felt more user friendly. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
