Product Description:

The VideoLAN Client (vlc) is a multi-plateform multimedia player.

It can read DVDs, VCDs, SVCDs, MPEG and DivX files. It can also read a stream from a network, sent by the VideoLAN Server or another source.

It does not support QuickTime movies (use QuickTime Player for this).

What's new in this version:

src/interface/main.c, src/misc/modules.c: added a quick hack for a --plugin-path command line option.
INSTALL.win32: removed note about running in administrator mode to play a DVD.
./plugins/beos/InterfaceWindow.cpp: user can now drop a DVD disk icon onto the interface or playlist window to open a DVD.
./plugins/x11/xcommon.c: we include Xmd.h before dpms.h (compilation fix for Solaris).
ALL: many BeOS fixes and enhancements.
ALL: VLC is now compliant with MPEG-2 TS standards embedding A/52 audio. It can still read from the old VLS with --vls-backwards-compat.
./plugins/familiar: interface for familiar Linux.
./plugins/qte: Qt/embedded video output.
./plugins/network/ipv4.c: added a --iface-addr option to select which interface to use for multicast sockets.
configure.in, configure: use -mms-bitfields instead of -fnative-struct for mingw32 gcc-3.x.
include/interface.h, plugins/dummy/intf_dummy.c, plugins/text/logger.c, plugins/text/rc.c: display message on Win32 explaining how to get back to the GUI mode.
include/threads_funcs.h, src/misc/win32_specific.c: ignore the win9x-cv-method config option on WinNT when fast-mutex is not enabled.
plugins/access/rtp.c: backported RTP access module from HEAD.
plugins/access/http.c: fixed a compile issue in the HTTP plug-in.
configure.in: fixed bug with $(QTDIR).
plugins/filter/deinterace.c: fixed an issue with the linear method.
