VLC media player (initially VideoLAN Client) is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG, DivX/Xvid, Ogg, and many more) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. However in recent years it has also become a extremely powerful server to stream live and on demand video in several formats to our network and the Internet. VLC is made by the non-profit foundation VideoLAN.

It started as a student project at the French École Centrale, Paris but is now a worldwide project with developers from 20 countries. (more about its history).

VLC is built in a modular way. This means that you can choose from a range of different modules to decide how to control VLC and how to display the video output.
