What is the VideoLAN project ?
- VideoLAN is a complete software solution for video streaming, developed
- by students at the and contributors from all over the world, under the General
- Public License (GPL). It has been designed for streaming MPEG 1 and MPEG
- 2 videos on local area networks (LAN), but it can be extended to
- metropolitan or wide area networks (MAN, WAN),
- thanks to the multicast technology.
- The VideoLAN solution includes a server, which can stream video from
- various sources (file, DVD, satellite, camera, ...), a client, which can
- receive, decode and display MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 streams and, if necessary,
- a channel server which tells automatically to the client the parameters
- needed to receive the stream.
