VLC Media Player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg, ...) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.
VLC plays absolutely anything. It supports an enormous number of multimedia formats, and does not require you to download additional codecs. VLC features a complete streaming server, with extended features like video on demand, on-the-fly transcoding, granular speed controls, frame-by-frame advancement and more. It can also be used as a server for unicast or multicast streams in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.

ReplyDeleteIt is often discussed among the masses about the freely available user friendly media players and mostly we come across VLC as an unbeatable media player among its competitors. Despite of the competitive advantage not only it plays up files to discs, webcams, streams but also works with odd codec encrypted files one downloaded from random websites in Eastern Europe. Though, it mostly runs on every platform like Windows, Mac OS X , Linux, iOS, Unix and also in Android applications.However, one amazing feature VLC is that it offers Frame by Frame VLC that enables you to play through a video one step at a time. This indeed can prove to be helpful in capturing snapshots from videos or if one wants to thoroughly go through and examine every frame of that insane BMX bicycle flip jump captured on the personal camera.
