    From Allan Higdon@allanh@vivaldi.net to alt.comp.freeware on Sun Nov 30 09:00:01 2025
    From Newsgroup: alt.comp.freeware

    "VLC is a skinnable, feature-rich media player that supports a wide variety of multimedia file and streaming formats. It can play files while they download, from inside RAR files, online radio stations, convert video formats and much more.

    The software can also behave as a streaming server for delivering video in unicast or multicast mode."

    "Runs on Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Unix and other popular operating systems"

    Can't find the files on the official site or in their repo.

    Using a 3.0.22RC (fixes bugs when run on XP)

    PS I usually download the 7z version, it's smaller. To make it portable, create a directory named "portable" in the VLC directory.
    All settings will be stored there.

    I could have waited until the downloads were available on the videolan.org site.
    The Changelog seemed up to date, and I had no problem with the videohelp.com download.
    The updated information about VLC and downloads are at https://www.videohelp.com/software/VLC-media-player

    Thanks, but I had already created the directory named "portable".
