ABOUT VLC :
VLC media player (commonly known as VLC) is a portable, free and open-source, cross-platform media player andstreaming media server written by the VideoLAN project. VLC is available for desktop OSes as also mobile platforms asAndroid, iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. VLC is also available on App stores as Apple's App Store.


VLC media player supports many audio and video compression methods and file formats, including DVD-Video, video CD and streaming protocols. It is able to stream media over computer networks and to transcode multimedia files.
The default distribution of VLC includes a large number of free decoding and encoding libraries, avoiding the need for finding/calibrating proprietary plugins. The libavcodec library from the FFmpeg project provides many of VLC's codecs, but the player mainly uses its own muxers, and demuxers. It also has its own protocol implementations. It also gained distinction as the first player to support playback of encrypted DVDs on Linux and OS X by using the libdvdcss DVD decryption library.(SOURCE)
