Because VLC is a packet-based
media player it plays almost all video content. It can play some, even
if they're damaged, incomplete, or unfinished, such as files that are
still downloading via a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. It also plays m2t MPEG transport streams (.TS) files while they are still being digitized from an HDV camera via a FireWire cable, making it possible to monitor the video as it is being played. The player can also use libcdio to access .iso files so that users can play files on a disk image, even if the user's operating system cannot work directly with .iso images.
VLC supports all audio and video formats supported by libavcodec and libavformat. This means that VLC can play back H.264 or MPEG-4 Part 2 video as well as support FLV or MXF
file formats "out of the box" using FFmpeg's libraries. Alternatively,
VLC has modules for codecs that are not based on FFmpeg's libraries. VLC
is one of the free software DVD players that ignores DVD region coding on RPC-1 firmware drives, making it a region-free player. However, it does not do the same on RPC-2 firmware drives, as in these cases the region coding is enforced by the drive itself, however, it can still brute-force the CSS encryption to play a foreign-region DVD on an RPC-2 drive. VLC media player has some filters that can distort, rotate, split, deinterlace, and mirror videos as well as create display walls or add a logo overlay. It can also output video as ASCII art.
VLC media player can play high definition recordings of D-VHS tapes duplicated to a computer using CapDVHS.exe. This offers another way to archive all D-VHS tapes with the DRM copy freely tag. Using a FireWire
connection from cable boxes to computers, VLC can stream live,
unencrypted content to a monitor or HDTV. VLC media player can display
the playing video as the desktop wallpaper, like Windows DreamScene, by using DirectX, only available on Windows operating systems. VLC media player can create screencasts
and record the desktop. On Microsoft Windows, VLC also supports the
Direct Media Object (DMO) framework and can thus make use of some
third-party DLLs.
On most platforms, VLC can tune into and view DVB-C, DVB-T, and DVB-S
channels. On Mac OS X the separate EyeTV plugin is required, on Windows
it requires the card's BDA Drivers.
VLC can be installed or run directly from a USB flash drive or other external drive. VLC can be extended through scripting; it uses the Lua scripting language.[44][45] VLC can play videos in the AVCHD format, a highly compressed format used in recent HD camcorders. VLC can generate a number of music visualization displays. The program is able to convert media files into various supported formats
