	Games - VLC media player

VLC media player (initially VideoLAN Client) is a media player from the VideoLAN project. It supports many audio and video codecs and file formats as well as DVDs, VCDs and various streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network. It employs the libavcodec codec library from the FFmpeg project to handle many of the formats it supports, and uses the libdvdcss DVD decryption library to handle playback of encrypted DVDs.

It is one of the most platform independent players available, with versions for Linux, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, BSD, Pocket PC, and Solaris.

On Windows, Linux, and some other platforms, VLC provides a Mozilla/Firefox plugin, which lets people view some Quicktime and Windows Media files embedded in websites without using Microsoft or Apple products.

Starting with version 0.8.2, VLC also provides an ActiveX plugin, which lets people view some QuickTime and Windows Media files embedded in websites, when browsing with Internet Explorer.
