VLC storyline

Not going in deep today...
As you all know and some have might tested also that VLC media player (a known player ,which plays all formats) launched a pre release version of its VLC media player labelled as 1.00.

Due to flaws in pre release the distribution stopped and now i after 10 years of deep experience , VLC is set again to rock the Players community again.

HISTORY :-

The software first emerged as an academic project called VideoLAN in 1996, which was created by a group of students at Ecole Centrale Paris. They aimed to build client and server components for deploying streaming video over a network. The source code was relicensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) in 2001, opening the door for third-party participation in the development effort. VLC has attracted a tremendous community of contributors who continue to advance the program and add new features.

Whats new ??

The new version has some nice enhancements such as instantaneous pause, on-the-fly recording, frame-by-frame playback, better subtitle handling, timeshifting support, and improved support for several media formats. The standard Qt interface and skin system also got some improvements in this release. There is now a recently played items list and better visual integration with GTK+ environments.

These improvements, which were added since the 0.9.9a release, round out an already impressive set of features. VLC can be used for everything from serving up streaming video across your network to reencoding video files. It's a remarkably powerful tool with a long history of delivering value to users. The new version is available for download from the project's website, and we salute the developers for finally hitting the 1.0 milestone.
