This is the software publisher's description.

VLC (initially VideoLAN Client) is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats, including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, MP3, and OGG, as well as for DVDs, VCDs and various streaming protocols.

It also can be used as a server for unicast or multicast streams in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.

VLC Media Player 2.0 is a major new upgrade and the first (major) upgrade since the original launch. New features include faster decoding, a new rendering pipepline and, for Mac users, a brand new user-interface.
