The coolest thing about the VLC is that it is open source which makes it open to peer group development. It plays zipped files, and can record live. Also, VLC 1.0.0 supports instant pausing and frame-by-frame support. Codecs are available for almost all kinds of known file types. Some of the file types for which codecs are available are AES3, Dolby Digital Plus, TrueHD, Blu-Ray Linear PCM, Real Video 3.0 and 4.0.

This highly portable multimedia player can be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast on a high bandwidth network. We had earlier described the features of VLC 0.9.2 when it was released last September. VLC Media Player may have its shortcomings but certainly fares better than most multimedia players available today.
