VideoLAN Client (VLC) is a media player, streamer, and encoder for Unix, Windows, Mac OS X,
BeOS, QNX, and PocketPC. It can play most audio
and video codecs (MPEG 1/2/4, DivX, WMV, Vorbis,
AC3, AAC, etc.), has support for VCD, SVCD, and
DVD (with menus), and can read or dump streams
from a network source (HTTP, UDP, DVB, MMS, etc.).
It can also act as a server and send streams
through the network, with optional support for
audio and video transcoding.
