Publisher's description of VLC Media Player 0.9.2
VLC (initially VideoLAN Client) is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats, including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, MP3, and OGG, as well as for DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It also can be used as a server for unicast or multicast streams in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network.
Version 0.9.2 adds a new interface module for Linux, Unix and Windows, a media library and an improved playlist, support for many new inputs and codecs, and many new audio and video filters.
Editor's review of VLC Media Player 0.9.2
4.0 stars
- "The last video player you'll ever need"
When it comes to video files, nothing is ever as easy as it should be. Thankfully, VLC Media Player offers a one-stop solution for the file-format problem. The program supports playback of OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, DVD, and a whole slew of other file types. In addition, it also can function as a streaming media server. Because of its open-source foundation, VLC Media Player evolves quickly, with new features and fixes released frequently.
Though the interface varies from platform to platform, the sparseness of the Mac version leaves plenty to be desired. The skinned mode perks things up slightly, but the program seems to suffer from unpredictable behavior when skinned. Also, the basic task of opening a file is far more confusing than it should be; the program gives you several options, including the head-scratching Quick Open File. Overall, though, VLC Media Player is a must-have application for its ability to open just about any type of video file you throw at it.

Version: VLC Media Player 0.9.2
"Best all-rounder tool for video file viewing"
Pros: I have not found a video file format that it cannot play. Good back up to both QuickTime and iTunes to play more obscure media types.
Cons: Not that easy to find and open files - it all takes a few too many steps. Dialogue box style needs to follow Apple UI style guidelines more closely.
Summary: Should be on every Mac as the back-up tool for media play.

"Not clever enough to use this ..."
Pros: Sounds good, downloaded quickly. No spyware or anything nasty.
Cons: I can't use it. I just want to see wmv files, that's all! Maybe I should go on a course . . . .?
Summary: If you are an Apple Newbie, use the Windows v. 9 download instead. It's probably not as good, but at least you can see your email!
