VLC Media player

On Windows, Linux, Mac, and some other UNIX-like platforms, VLC provides a NPAPI plugin,^[14] which enables users to view QuickTime, Windows Media, MP3 and Ogg files embedded in websites without using additional products. It supports Firefox, Mozilla Application Suite, Safari, Opera, Chrome and other Netscape plug-in based web browsers. Before switching to Adobe Flash, this plugin was initially used by Google to build the Google Video web browser plugin.^[15]Starting with version 0.8.2, VLC also provides an ActiveX plugin, which lets people view QuickTime (MOV), Windows Media, MP3 and Ogg files embedded in websites when using Internet Explorer.

VLC, like most multimedia frameworks, has a very modular design which makes it easier to include modules/plugins for new file formats, codecs or streaming methods. VLC core creates its own graph of modules to fit into different situations. In VLC, almost everything is a module, like interfaces, video and audio outputs, controls, scalers, codecs, and audio and video filter modules.
