VideoLAN is an OpenSource streaming solution for every OS developed by
students from the Ecole Centrale Paris and developers from all over the
World.
VLC (VideoLAN Client) is a media player that can play MPEG1, MPEG2 and
MPEG4 (aka DivX) files, DVDs, VCDs, SVCDs, from a satellite card, from
a stream sent by VLS (VideoLAN Server), from another VLC, or from a Web
server.
This package contains no CSS unscrambling functionality for DVDs ;
you need the libdvdcss library available from
http://www.videolan.org/libdvdcss/


This package is in the 'tainted' section as it is violating software patents.
