If you’re looking for a great alternative to Windows Media Player, iTunes, RealPlayer and others, VLC Media Player is the application you need. VLC Media Player is the best application for the job. With so many media formats out there, VLC Media Player is a catch-all player that can handle anything.

While other media players will play unusual formats after downloading a codec, or simply refuse to play things, VLC Media Player covers tons of formats, from MPEG to FLV and RMBV files. In addition to this, you can also use it to preview files you are downloading, because it will play parts of files. It takes no time to start up either, so opening it up to preview something is no trouble at all.

VLC also offers superb integration with video channel streaming services such as Channels.com giving you access to channels such as ESPN, Reuters and National Geographic and even YouTube! Just click on the channel you want to watch and streaming should begin almost immediately.

Along with the improvements, VLC continues to offer robust support for a wide range of video and audio formats, including OGG, MP2, MP3, MP4, DivX, HD codecs like AES3, Raw Dirac, and even support for playing back zipped files.

You can even use VLC to convert your files, and on top of all the formats and physical media it will play, many streaming protocols and TV capture cards are supported.

For video, VLC Media Player is the best application you will find.
