VLC Media Player For Linux

VLC is free software licensed under GPL and exists for many different platforms like GNU / Linux, BSD, BeOS, Solaris, Mac OS X and Windows.

Aside from being able to play most audio formats like mp3, and so on, you can also easily convert video files like Big Buck Bunny from avi to mp4.

VLC media player is also available on the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad and as beta version for Android.

The program is translated into a total of 68 different languages, including Swedish.

Worth knowing:

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability found in the httpd_HtmlError feature of the network, / httpd.c of the VLC Media Player web interface before version 2.2.0 that allows attackers from injecting arbitrary web scripts or HTML code through the path info.

Note: To play DVDs, you need to install the libdvdcss package.
