Chapter 1. Streaming, Muxers and Codecs

VideoLAN software

VLC Media Player

VLC works on many platforms: Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, *BSD, Solaris, Familiar Linux, Yopy/Linupy and

QNX. It can read:

• MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 / DivX ﬁles from a hard disk, a CD-ROM drive, ...

• DVDs and VCDs

• from a satellite card (DVB-S)

• from a camcorder (DV)

• MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 streams from the network sent by VLS or VLC’s stream output

VLC can also be used as a server to stream:

• MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 / DivX ﬁles,

• DVDs,

• from an MPEG encoding card,

• from a camcorder DV,

to:

• one machine (i.e. to one IP address): this is called unicast,

• a dynamic group of machines that the clients can join or leave (i.e. to a multicast IP address): this is called multicast,

in IPv4 or IPv6.

To get the complete list of VLC’s possibilities on each plateform supported, see the VLC features page

(http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html).

Note: VLC doesn’t work on Mac OS 9, and will probably never do.

Mini-SAP-server

You can add a channel information service based on the SAP/SDP standard to the VideoLAN solution. The

mini-SAP-server sends announces about the multicast programs on the network in IPv4 or IPv6, and VLCs receive these

annouces and automatically add the programs announced to their playlist.

The mini-SAP-server works under Linux and Mac OS X.

Muxers and codecs

What is a codec ?

To fully understand the VideoLAN solution, you must understand the difference between a codec and a container format
