VideoLAN

VideoLAN

VideoLAN is a project that develops software for playing video and other media formats. It originally developed two programs for media streamingVideoLAN Client (VLC) and VideoLAN Server (VLS)—but most of the features of VLS have been incorporated in to VLC, with the result renamed VLC media player.

The project began as a student endeavor at École Centrale Paris (France), but after releasing the software under the free software/open source GNU General Public License, the project is now multinational with a development team spanning 20 nations (cite web | title = VideoLAN team contact list | url = http://www.videolan.org/team/index.html | access date = 2007-12-28).

Projects

VLC

VLS

Codecs

The VideoLAN project also develops several audio/video decoding and decryption libraries, such as libdvdcss which allows the content of CSS protected DVDs to be unscrambled, x264 which can encode H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video and libdca which can decode DTS audio.

VLMa

A new project has been developed, called VLMa (standing for VideoLAN Manager).VLMa is an application to manage broadcasts of TV channels, received through digital terrestrial or satellite ways. Its interface is provided as a web-site written in Java. It is also capable of streaming audio and video files. VLMa consists of a deamon (called VLMad) and a web interface (called VLMaw).VLMa is released under the GNU General Public License like VLC media player.

Technological Transfer

In May 2008, Neuros Technology and Texas Instruments started working on a port of VideoLAN to their next generation open set-top box. [ [http://open.neurostechnology.com/content/vlc-porting-neuros-open-internet-television-hdplatform VLC Port to Neuros Linux] ]
