	The VideoLAN project was started as a school project in 1996 by students of [http://www.ecp.fr École Centrale Paris], a French engineering school. These students wanted to be able to watch television on their PCs. (They also wanted to upgrade the [http://www.via.ecp.fr VIA Centrale Réseaux] network so they needed a bandwidth intensive application to justify the upgrade.)

	The first large scale multicast streaming tests occurred in May 2002. 500 students on the VIA Centrale Réseaux network were able to participate in these tests. In January 2003, the first MPEG4 streams were tested and realtime MPEG4 encoding was available two months later.

	They began writing [[VLS]] (VideoLAN Server) and the [[VLC media player\|VLC]] (VideoLAN Client) to stream and read ~~MPEG2~~ streams. They succeeded in serving and reading the first stream in 1998. These two programs were planned to be modular, which meant a core consisting basically of communication functions to be used by the modules. This allowed easy porting of the OS specific modules.
