vlc media player for windows
VLC is short for VideoLAN Client.VLC media player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3, ogg, ...) 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 is compatible with Mac, linux, and also windows.
VLC media player 1.0.0 now is available to be downloaded. But this latest version only can be supported by windows 2000 or later. The version 1.0.0 is playing as nice with the next iteration of the Windows client, Windows 7, in addition to releases such as Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and Windows XP SP3 as the old version.
If you are the users of WIndows 95/98/Me, you should use the version 0.8.6. But these versions of Windows are not officially supported. VLC should mostly work with them, but some incompatibilities might appear. You might need to download The Microsoft Layer for Unicode on Windows 95/98/Me Systems. The two MSLU files need to be put in the C:WindowsSystem folder.
