It comes with all the necessary codecs: Flash, Dirac, Atrac3, H.264 PAFF, APE audio, RealVideo, VC-3, Fraps and more.

The application also supports the configuration server as a unicast or multicast on IPv4 or IPv6 networks.

VLC Media Player enjoys many hardware acceleration options, including via the graphics card as well as optimization for multi-core systems (for decoding codecs such as H.264, WebM or Xvid) .

On the same principle as Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, VLC handles extensions and skins . There are two types of extensions , the first objective will be to retrieve video content , audio and subtitles on the Internet , the latter offer the possibility to access additional contextual information.

VLC gets also to BluRay, which is, for the moment only partially managed (no support for menus).

Function post-processing optimizes file playback for an optimal picture and sound. In addition, it includes a video converter or audio file, audio and video in real time filters, video streaming function, a wide range of settings that improves the rendering of the image and sound.
