VLC media player is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player that plays most video files and network streaming protocols.
This is the port of VLC media player to the Chrome OS platform. VLC for Chrome OS can play most video and audio files, as well as network streams and DVD ISOs, like the desktop version of VLC.
