About:

VideoLAN Client (VLC) is a media player, streamer, and encoder for Unix, Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, QNX, and PocketPC. It can play most audio and video codecs (MPEG 1/2/4, DivX, WMV, Vorbis, AC3, AAC, etc.), has support for VCD, SVCD, and DVD (with menus), and can read or dump streams from a network source (HTTP, UDP, DVB, MMS, etc.). It can also act as a server and send streams through the network, with optional support for audio and video transcoding.

• VLC is very popular for its ability to play the video content of incomplete, unfinished, or damaged video downloads before the files have been fully downloaded.
• Ability to use libcdio to access .iso files so that the user can play files on a disk image
• VLC supports all codecs and all file formats supported by FFmpeg
• Through a simple FireWire connection from cable boxes to computers, VLC streams live unencrypted content to a monitor or HDTV.
• Set the playing video as wallpaper.
