Play everything with VLC Player

With VLC Player you can play even rare and unusual file formats. The media player was released back in 1996 and runs on all operating systems. You can also use the handy program to play DVDs and CDs, as a server for streaming and as an interface for TV cards.

These are some formats that VLC Player plays

1. MPEG-1 is one of the oldest video formats, developed in the 80s. It does not yet support HD and requires a lot of storage space.
2. QuickTime: This file format from Apple is used in the professional field. It is mainly used for editing in video editing programs and can only be played by very few players.
3. WebM: This space-saving format was developed to be used on websites. It uses little memory and still has high quality. WebM wird in den nächsten Jahren Flash-Videos ersetzen.
4. MKV: Ein beliebtes Format für Heimkinos, das viele individuelle Einstellungsmöglichkeiten bietet und Bilder in höchster Qualität speichert. Auch dieses Format können neben dem VLC Player nur sehr wenig andere Player abspielen.
