VLC-2.1.5

Introduction to VLC

VLC is a media player, streamer, and encoder. It can play from many inputs like files, network streams, capture device, desktops, or DVD, SVCD, VCD, and audio CD. It can play most audio and video codecs (MPEG 1/2/4, H264, VC-1, DivX, WMV, Vorbis, AC3, AAC, etc.), but can also convert to different formats and/or send streams through the network.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.7 platform.
