Part 1. What is VLC Media Player

VLC supports a large variety of content. It can play videos, even if they are damaged, unfinished or incomplete, such as files that are still downloading from a peer to peer (P2P) network. It also plays m2t MPEG transport streams (.TS) files while they are still in the process of being digitized from an HDV camera via a FireWire cable, which makes it possible to monitor the video while it is being played. It can also use libcdio to access .iso files so that users can play files on a disk image, even when the user's operating system cannot work directly with .iso images.

VLC supports all audio and video formats supported by libavcodec and libavformat. This means that VLC can playback or MPEG-4 Part 2 video as well as support FLV or MXF file formats "out of the box" using FFmpeg's libraries. Alternatively, VLC has modules for codecs that are not based on FFmpeg's libraries. It is also one of the free software DVD players that ignore DVD region coding on RPC-1 firmware drives, making it a region-free player. However, it does not do the same on RPC-2 firmware drives, as in these cases, the drive itself enforces the region coding. However, it can still brute-force the CSS encryption to play a foreign-region DVD on an RPC-2 drive. The VLC media player has some filters that can distort, rotate, split, de-interlace, and mirror videos as well as create display walls or add a logo overlay. It can also output video as ASCII art.

VLC 64 bit media player has a modular design, and that makes it superbly user friendly. It has more than 380 modules, all because of its modular design, which makes it easier to include a large number of modules/plugins for new file formats, codecs, or various streaming methods. In fact, it creates its own graph of modules dynamically, depending on the situation and based on input protocol, codec, file format, video card capabilities, and many other similar parameters.
