The VideoLAN website describes their product really well:

The VideoLAN project targets multimedia streaming of MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and DivX files, DVDs, digital satellite channels, digital terrestial television channels and live videos on a high-bandwidth IPv4 or IPv6 network in unicast or multicast under many OSes. VideoLAN also features a cross-platform multimedia player, VLC, which can be used to read the stream from the network or display video read locally on the computer under all GNU/Linux flavours, all BSD flavours, Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, Solaris, QNX, Familiar Linux…

It does exactly that. It’s a beautiful free media player. Think of it as QuickTime on steroids. For no cost, you can get a really good quality media player, great for watching video on your Mac.

What’s so special about VLC is that it’s capable of playing so many different things, it’s list of features is rather extensive.

It’s available on all platforms, so even your Windows buddies can use this cool media player. It’s already pretty good in terms of Aquafication, and it’s getting better.

There’s no good reason to be without this great little product. It’s capable of turning your Mac from a good media device to a great media device.

And did we mention it’s FREE?

So if you haven’t downloaded it yet, get with the program and download VLC Media Player.
