Software for your pc / laptop to play movie.
VLC Media Player is the most popular and robust multi format, free media
player available. The open source media player was publically released
in 2001 by non-profit organization VideoLAN Project. VLC Media Player
quickly became very popular thanks to its versatile multi-format
playback capabilities. It was aided by compatibility and codec issues
which rendered competitor media players like QuickTime, Windows and Real
Media Player useless to many popular video and music file formats. The
easy, basic UI and huge array of customization options have enforced VLC
Media Player’s position at the top of the free media players.
A cross-platform media player that can be used for playing multiple audio and video formats such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, Ogg and others. VLC also supports DVD, VCD and various streaming protocols and can be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast. VLC is available for many different operating systems including Windows, MacOS X, BeOS, multiple Linux versions, Fedora, FreeBSD, Solaris
and others. The VLC media Player is produced under VideoLAN, a software
project that produces free software for video, released under the GNU General Public License.
