Along with the improvements, VLC continues to offer robust support for a wide range of video and audio formats, including OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, HD codecs like AES3, Raw Dirac, and even support for playing back zipped files. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.
VLC media player is definitely one name that fights for supremacy. It is, by definition a multimedia player that supports virtually all formats, regardless if we’re talking about audio or video files.

The software comes with some configuration steps straight from the installer so that you can configure which files you want VLC to handle. And trust us, this is indeed a great feature, given the fact that VLC has a very rich settings menu, so forcing users to browse among all these options wouldn’t be such a great idea.

1. MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 / DivX files from a hard disk, a CD-ROM drive, and so on
2. DVDs, VCDs, and Audio CDs
3. From satellite cards (DVB-S)
4. Several types of network streams: UDP/RTP Unicast, UDP/RTP Multicast, HTTP, RTSP, MMS, etc.
5. From acquisition or encoding cards (on GNU/Linux and Windows only)
VLC media player has tons of options, not only related to the visual appearance, but also to configure its functionality. Not to mention that it can provide a wide variety of information regarding the currently opened files.

VLC Media Player is a long-time open-source favorite, and the latest version is also the first to be out of beta development. It's not the only option for free video playback, but it's one of the best, and the feature updates in version 1 make it well worth the upgrade
