VLC is the supreme of all open source projects, you used it in school, college, work and home.

I used it since I was a child and it has never failed on me. It didn’t matter what type of file you chucked at it, it would run it.

Do you disagree or agree with VLC being the best media player? What are your thoughts?

    They don’t pay Royalties to the patent holders. Not really illegal but still interesting. You a extremely unlikely to get sued for using VLC

      I assume you’re referring to codecs like H.264, which is owned and licensed by Apple. But are you sure using those codecs to play media is illegal? I thought it was only required to pay to encode.

      I can’t imagine that Firefox is illegally breaking the law too…
