VLC media player

Description

                          VLC media player (commonly known as VLC) is a free and open-source, portable and cross-platform media player and streaming media server 

written by the VideoLAN project. VLC is available for desktop operating systems and mobile platforms, such as Windows 10 Mobile, Windows

 Phone, Android, Tizen, iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. VLC is also available on App stores such as Apple's App Store, Google Play store 

and Microsoft Windows Windows Store.VLC media player supports many audio and video compression methods and file formats, including DVD-Video, video CD and streaming protocols.

 It is able to stream media over computer networks and to transcode multimedia files.

The default distribution of VLC includes a large number of free decoding and encoding libraries, avoiding the need for finding/calibrating proprietary

 plugins. The libavcodec library from the FFmpeg project provides many of VLC's codecs, but the player mainly uses its own muxers, and demuxers. 

It also has its own protocol implementations. It also gained distinction as the first player to support playback of encrypted DVDs on Linux and macOS 

by using the libdvdcss DVD decryption libraryModular design

VLC, like most multimedia frameworks, has a very modular design which makes it easier to include modules/plugins for new file formats, codecs,

 interfaces, or streaming methods. VLC 1.0.0 has more than 380 modules. The VLC core creates its own graph of modules dynamically,

 depending on the situation: input protocol, input file format, input codec, video card capabilities and other parameters. In VLC, almost

 everything is a module, like interfaces, video and audio outputs, controls, scalers, codecs, and audio/video filters.

The default GUI is based on Be API on BeOS, Cocoa for macOS, and Qt 4 for Linux and Windows, but all give a similar standard interface.

 The old default GUI was based on wxWidgets on Linux and Windows. VLC supports highly customizable skins through the skins2 interface,

 and also supports Winamp 2 and XMMS skins. Skins are not supported in the macOS implementation of VLC. VLC has ncurses, remote control,

 and telnet console interfaces. There is also an HTTP interface, as well as interfaces for mouse gestures and keyboard hotkeys.
