The VLC Media Player (VLC means VideoLan Client) is a popular cross-platform Open Source media player. The player’s capabilities to play many media files and streams without additional codec installation make it one of the prime choices for users who want to avoid “codec-hunting” hassles. Chance is VLC can play the file, physical media or stream right away.
VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player supporting most audio and video formats (H.264, Ogg, DivX, MKV, TS, MPEG-2, mp3, MPEG-4, aac, …) from files, physical media (DVDs, VCD, Audio-CD), TV capture cards and many network streaming protocols.
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.
Users who want to download the VLC media player find versions for Windows, Mac and Linux on the developer’s website where both binaries and source codes are available.
Windows users can download an installer or portable version of VLC directly from the download windows page of the player’s website.
Users who have VLC media player installed can check for a new version in the player. This is done by clicking on Help > Check for Updates.
New versions of VLC can be downloaded and installed directly from within the interface.
