README for the VLC media player | ||
=============================== | ||
|
||
VLC is a popular libre and open source media player and multimedia engine, | ||
used by a large number of individuals, professionals, companies and | ||
institutions. Using open source technologies and libraries, VLC has been | ||
ported to most computing platforms, including GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, | ||
BSD, iOS and Android. | ||
VLC can play most multimedia files, discs, streams, allows playback from | ||
devices, and is able to convert to or stream in various formats. | ||
The VideoLAN project was started at the university École Centrale Paris who | ||
relicensed VLC under the GPLv2 license in February 2001. Since then, VLC has | ||
been downloaded close to one billion times. | ||
