Το VLC διαθέτει εκδόσεις για πολλές πλατφόρμες, με εκδόσεις για τα Microsoft Windows, το Mac OS X, το GNU/Linux, το BeOS, το MorphOS, το BSD, το Solaris, το iOS και το eComStation.

VideoLAN is a non-profit organization which develops software for playing video and other media formats. It originally developed two programs for media streaming, VideoLAN Client (VLC) and VideoLAN Server (VLS), but most of the features of VLS have been incorporated into VLC, with the result renamed VLC media player.

Vlc
  1. VLC media player is cross-platform, with versions for Windows, Android, Chrome OS, BeOS, Windows Phone, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, OS/2, Linux, and Syllable. However, forward and backward compatibility between versions of VLC media player and different versions of OSs are not maintained over more than a couple or so generations.
  2. VideoLAN, VLC, VLC media player and x264 are trademarks internationally registered by the VideoLAN non-profit organization. VideoLAN software is licensed under various open-source licenses: use and distribution are defined by each software license. Design by Made By Argon. Some icons are licensed under the CC BY-SA 3.0+.
  3. Graphical Interface Many people who want to use VLC media playeron macOS will be intending to use the standard graphical interface that is provided by VLC. The standard interface consists of the eight menus in the menu bar and the 'VLC - Controller' window that opens up by default.

The VideoLAN project began as a student endeavor at École Centrale Paris (France), but after releasing the software under the free software/open sourceGNU General Public License, the project is now multinational with a development team spanning 40 nations.[4] The project has been completely separated from École Centrale Paris since 2009 when it was constituted as a non-profit organization.[5][1]

Office 2016 for mac support. The current President of the VideoLAN non-profit organization is Jean-Baptiste Kempf, who is also one of the project's developers.[6]

Projects[edit]

VLC[edit]

VLC (standing for VideoLAN Client) is a portable multimedia player, encoder, and streamer supporting many audio and video codecs and file formats as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streamingprotocols. Free download qbasic software. It is able to stream over networks and to transcode multimedia files and save them into various formats. It is one of the most platform-independent players available, with versions for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Linux, BeOS, BSD, Solaris, Chrome OS, and is widely used with over 2.1 billion downloads as of September 2017.[7]

VLMC[edit]

VLMC (standing for VideoLAN Movie Creator) is a cross-platform, non-linear, video editing software application based on the VLC Media Player. The software is still in early development.The latest version is 0.2.0 (released 2014-10-30), released under the GPLv2 license.

VLS[edit]

The VLS (standing for VideoLAN Server) project was originally intended to be used as a server for streaming videos. But now, it has been merged with the VLC project and use of VLS is not encouraged.

Codecs[edit]

The VideoLAN project also hosts several audio/video decoding and decryptionlibraries, such as libdvdcss which allows the content of CSS protected DVDs to be unscrambled, x264 which can encode H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video, x265 which can encode HEVC video, x262 which can encode MPEG-2 video, dav1d which can decode AV1 video, libdca which can decode DTS audio, and the gitrepository of the multimedia frameworkFFmpeg.

VLMa[edit]

A new project has been developed, called VLMa (standing for VideoLAN Manager).VLMa is an application to manage broadcasts of TV channels, received through digital terrestrial or satellite ways. Its interface is provided as a web-site written in Java. It is also capable of streaming audio and video files. VLMa consists of a daemon (called VLMad) and a web interface (called VLMaw). VLMa is released under the GNU General Public License like VLC media player.

VLC media player Skin Editor[edit]

[4]The VLC Skin Editor is a simple program developed by VideoLAN. The simple interface allows users to create new skins for the VLC media player without knowledge of the VLC Skins2 XML System. The program lets users change features on the main window, playlist window, and equalizer window. The current version is 2.0.8 and can be downloaded on the videolan.org website.

Commercial use[edit]

In May 2008, Neuros Technology and Texas Instruments began work on a port of VideoLAN to their next generation open set-top box.[8]

VLC is currently used in products through the use of libVLC and also as raw or customized VLC for Android versions on devices.Some features have been publicly merged, such as 360° support.[9]

Opposition to software-bundling[edit]

VideoLAN developers have expressed dismay at how users searching for their products see search advertising from websites that use unwanted software bundling to modify official download files with wrappers that include unwanted programs. VideoLAN doesn't have the money to sue the many companies abusing their trademarks.[10][11][12][13][14]
