VLC Media Player is the most popular and robust multi format, free media
player available. The open source media player was publically released
in 2001 by non-profit organization VideoLAN Project. VLC Media Player
quickly became very popular thanks to its versatile multi-format
playback capabilities. It was aided by compatibility and codec issues
which rendered competitor media players like QuickTime, Windows and Real
Media Player useless to many popular video and music file formats. The
easy, basic UI and huge array of customization options have enforced VLC
Media Player’s position at the top of the free media players.
Free cross-platform media player without installation.
