VideoLAN is an excellent multimedia player with it’s own plugins for playing different formats, so it doesn’t need any codecs to be installed. It works great for previewing partially downloaded files too as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols.
Notable fixes and improvements include:
flv and mpeg2 seeking,
wmv, wav, rtsp and ssa support,
fixes for Qt and MacOS interface,
fix of an integer underflow in Real pseudo-RTSP module
translations updates,
port of the ZVBI module to Windows for full teletext support and
codecs updates for Windows and Mac OS.
