=Introduction=<br />
'''VLC''' is a software project, which produces free and open source software for multimedia, released under the GNU General Public License.<br />
<br />
==Features==<br />
<br />
== Features ==<br />
* VLC is popular for its ability to play the video content of incomplete, unfinished, or damaged video downloads before the files have been fully downloaded. (For example, files still downloading via [[BitTorrent (protocol)|BitTorrent]], [[eMule]], or [[Gnutella]]). It also plays [[m2t]] MPEG Transport Streams (.TS) files while they are still being digitized from an [[HDV]] camera via a [[FireWire]] cable, making it possible to monitor the video as it is being played. This is because it is a packet-based player. <br />
* The player also has the ability to use libcdio to access [[.iso]] files so that the user can play files on a [[disk image]], even if the user's operating system does not have the capability of working directly with .iso images.<br />
* VLC supports all codecs and all file formats supported by [[FFmpeg]]. This means that [[VOB|DVD Video]] and [[MPEG-4]] playback as well as support for [[Ogg]] and [[Matroska]] (MKV) file formats work "out of the box". However, this feature is not unique to VLC, as any player using the FFmpeg libraries, including [[MPlayer]] and [[xine-lib]]-based players, can play those formats without need for external codecs. VLC also supports codecs that are not included in FFmpeg.<br />
* VLC is one of the [[free software]] and [[open source]] DVD players that ignores [[DVD region code#Software DVD players|DVD region coding]], making it a region free player, even on locked RPC-2 firmware.<br />
* VLC media player has some filters that can distort, rotate, split, [[deinterlace]], mirror videos, create display walls, or add a logo overlay. It can also produce video output as [[ASCII art]].<br />
* VLC media player can play [[High-definition video|high definition]] recordings of [[D-VHS]] tapes duplicated to a computer using CapDVHS.exe. This offers another way to archive all D-VHS tapes with the DRM copy freely tag.<br />
* Using a [[FireWire]] connection from cable boxes to computers, VLC can stream live, unencrypted content to a monitor or HDTV.<br />
* VLC media player can display the playing video as the [[Computer wallpaper|desktop wallpaper]], like [[Windows DreamScene]], but this feature is not currently available on [[Linux]].<br />
* VLC media player can do screencasts and record the desktop.<br />
* On Microsoft Windows, VLC also supports the Direct Media Object (DMO) framework and can therefore make use of some third-party [[Dynamic-link library|DLLs]].<br />
* VLC can be installed and run directly from a flash or other external drive.<br />
* VLC can be extended through scripting. It uses the [[Lua (programming language)|Lua]] scripting language.<br />

Currently, all recommended Ogg Vorbis utilities are available at the [http://www.rarewares.org/ogg.html Rarewares Ogg Vorbis page]. The following tools are important:<br />
<br />
* '''OggEnc2''': A command-line Ogg Vorbis encoder that can be used with most CD rippers.<br />
<br />
* '''OggDec''': Command-line decoder.<br />
<br />
* '''[[OggDropXPd]]''': An easy to use, drag'n'drop encoder/decoder with support for automatic tagging, renaming and playlist creation on encoding.<br />
<br />
* ''Encoding DLLs'': For encoding within CDex or WinLame.<br />
<br />
* '''VorbisGain''': The [[ReplayGain]] utility for Ogg Vorbis.<br />
<br />
In addition, the [[Lancer]] suite — a highly SSE-optimized suite of utilities and libraries — are available at [http://homepage3.nifty.com/blacksword/ this page] ''(in Japanese)''. See [[Lancer#Platform-specific Builds|this section]] for information about the different builds.<br />
<br />
