What is the VideoLAN VLC Media Player?

VLC, a VideoLAN Project, is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework, that plays most multimedias files. It handles WVM, DVDs, (S)VCDs, Audio CDs, TV cards, Web and other various streaming protocols and much more. With VLC, there is no need to continually update many different codec packs. VLC comes with nearly every codec built in. And whats more, VLC can play back your files, even if the media is damaged! Missing or broken pieces won't stop VLC. All the video and audio information that remains can be played.
