The VLC media player needs no introduction. As one of the most popular media players used these days, this media player had achieved what many could not have even asked for. VLC is very popular for its ability to play the video content of incomplete, unfinished, or damaged video downloads before the files have been fully downloaded. (For example, files still downloading via BitTorrent or eMule). It also plays m2t MPEG Transport Streams (.TS) files while they are still being digitized from an HDV camera via a firewire cable, making it possible to monitor the video as it is being played. This is because it is a packet-based player.
And I was very much impressed to see the list of OS it supported, being Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, Solaris, Crux Linux, Debian GNU (GNU's Not Unix) Linux, Familiar Linux, Fedora Core Linux, Gentoo Linux, Mandrake Linux, Red Hat Linux, Slackware Linux, Novell's SuSE (System und Software Entwicklung = System and software development) Linux, Turbo Linux, NetBSD (Berkeley Software Distribution), OpenBSD, FreeBSD, QNX, Zaurus and Windows CE (Windows Mobile) for Pocket PC.
