VLC is the VideoLAN project's media player. It plays MPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, MOV, WMV, QuickTime, WebM, FLAC, MP3, Ogg/Vorbis files, DVDs, VCDs, podcasts, and multimedia streams from various network sources.

VLC can also be used as a streaming server that duplicates the stream it reads and multicasts them through the network to other clients, or serves them through HTTP.

VLC has support for on-the-fly transcoding of audio and video formats, either for broadcasting purposes or for movie format transformations. Support for most output methods is provided by this package, but features can be added by installing additional plugins: * vlc-plugin-access-extra * vlc-plugin-fluidsynth * vlc-plugin-jack * vlc-plugin-notify * vlc-plugin-samba * vlc-plugin-skins2 * vlc-plugin-svg * vlc-plugin-video-splitter * vlc-plugin-visualization

VLC is my goto on every new OS that I have a user account on. I have many systems I have accounts on due to work. I end up installing VLC on any I spend any time on.

VLC war und ist der mit Abstand beste Videoplayer auf dem Markt. Kostenlos, mächtig, individualisierbar. Kommt mit unzähligen Codecs klar, direkt einsatzbereit. Was will man mehr?

Long time Windows user who just migrated to the awesome Linux Mint...very familiar with VLC because I used it on Windows for a decade, so I was happy to see this familiar face in the repository. Just two things I'd like to see on VLC: gapless playback (which every other music app I've tried has), and the ability to change the interface color. Yes, there are skins for VLC, but they're so outdated. Other than that, this is a superb app that plays everything I've thrown at it, including odd sound files like .au and .mo3. VLC lets me capture streaming video, too, which is amazing.

Beautiful. Lets me make my songs slow and reverb, which gives me a nostalgic vibe. Also reads DVDs.

Ganz gut auf Linux Mint, hat aber ab und zu ein paar Probleme bei der Wiedergabe und der Ansteuerung der Soundkarte. Ist immer ein auf und ab mit dem kleinen Kerl hier.

Historically my favorite media player, but in LM 22 some videos like AOM AV1 don't work when they work fine in celluloid. There my be a fix, but even if so, this is suboptimal compared to out of the box celluloid.
