Review and how it works
VLC media player, originally called VideoLAN Client, is indispensable if the movies or music don't want to play correctly and you don't know how to fix this or what a codec is.
The VideoLAN's application presents itself as an all-in-one instrument for both video streaming and playback.
VLC was intended right from the beginning as a greatly portable and universal multimedia player for different audio and video formats such as MPEG-1-2-4, DivX, mp3, ogg, DVDs, VCDs (the list is very long) and compatible with different streaming protocols.
It is provided as a server and as a client to stream and receive network streams. The streaming server can handle all the types that it has the capacity to read.
Part of VLC is thought like a replacement for Windows Media Player that will work because has all the necessary codecs already included so no more blank screen or no sound problem.
