VideoLAN
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
VideoLAN is a project that develops software for playing video and other media formats. Originally comprising of two programs — VideoLAN Client (VLC) and VideoLAN Server (VLS), the two have now been incorporated into the VideoLAN Client, which is now known as VLC media player.
The project began as a student endeavour at École Centrale Paris (France), but after releasing the software under the free software/open source GNU General Public License, the project is now multinational with a development team spanning 20 nations.
The project also develops several audio/video decoding and decryption libraries, such as libdvdcss which allows the content of CSS protected DVDs to be unscrambled, x264 which can encode H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video and libdca which can decode DTS audio.
