VLC Media Player is a highly portable multimedia player for various audio and video formats (MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, MP3, OGG.) as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols. It can also be used as a server to stream in unicast or multicast in IPv4 or IPv6 on a high-bandwidth network. Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware. It is simply beautiful and powerful at the same time. It is the tagline and it is known by that name only. It provides a wide variety of supported formats in handling Mac media players. This media player can play in any format and at any time. Even the user can easily swipe and touch gestures for easy and smooth controlling.
Devices and Mac OS X version

Note that the first generation of Intel-based Macs equipped with Core Solo or Core Duo processors is no longer supported. Please use version 2.0.10 linked below.
