VideoLAN is an ugly piece of software. Simple little cone with bare bones interface. But under the hood, this little dude has it where it counts. Ask it to open any type of media, it complies. I get the impression every time I offer it some obscure video file with a goofy codec type, VLC asks me: "Are you sure boss? Looks like a text file. If you say so, we'll give it a go..." I've never found a file that VLC would not play. According to the wikipedia article, it works by using codecs and it's own "muxer and demuxer" which I'll assume is some type of spellcasting ability or artificial intelligence. Best thing is, you can throw this guy on a flash drive (either in it's full blown state or in the version from portableapps.com) and use it to run video files for a presentation.
I love this program more than a man should be allowed to by law. I think I'm going to ask VLC to be my valentine.
