About VLC
VLC is a free, open-source media player from the VideoLAN project that plays virtually any audio or video format, disc or stream without extra codecs. It also converts media, records streams and serves as a streaming server in expert hands. Available on every major platform, it is often the first tool suggested when a media file refuses to play elsewhere
