VLC Media Player – once known as “VideoLAN client” – is among a handful of free programs that every Mac should have installed as standard. Though it’s known predominantly as a video player, VLC is much, much more. It’s a stable replacement for iDVD, playing direct from DVD, ripped discs or .ISO files. It streams video over networks, converting to new formats on the fly. It can even play video feeds direct from an AppleTV or EyeTV. So, in short, it’s no ordinary media player.
Some features are more populist than others, like the ability to open videos embedded in online video sites – such as YouTube – directly in VLC. All files played are automatically added to your Playlist, which makes it easy to select them and save them locally in any format – there’s no need to save as FLV then transcode. The Media Library also searches video aggregation sites like Shoutcast, listing available free streams for your viewing pleasure.
