VideoLAN is a project to develop a media player and a video server—the VLC media-player and the VLS media-server.
VideoLAN is a large and active project, and development is split into the client and server components, which are each large projects in their own right.
VLC and VLS are noted for their support of a wide variety of media codecs, including MPEG-1/MPEG-2/MPEG-4, DVD, DVB-T, and DVB-S.
