README for the VLC media player
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
VLC is a popular libre and open source media player and multimedia engine,
|
|
used by a large number of individuals, professionals, companies and
|
|
institutions. Using open source technologies and libraries, VLC has been
|
|
ported to most computing platforms, including GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OS X,
|
|
BSD, iOS and Android.
|
|
VLC can play most multimedia files, discs, streams, allows playback from
|
|
devices, and is able to convert to or stream in various formats.
|
|
The VideoLAN project was started at the university École Centrale Paris who
|
|
relicensed VLC under the GPLv2 license in February 2001. Since then, VLC has
|
|
been downloaded close to one billion times.
