Will just say that just downloaded 1.1.4, and it's actually less accessible
than 0.8.6f that I already had here since it seems to almost be implementing
it's own virtual tab menu system, similar to some apps on windows7, and this
is on a windows XP machine, so think will stick to 0.8.6 for now...
Stay well

Yes, VLC Media Player is an amazing multi-platform media player! It can
play just about any format known to man or woman. Surprisingly, just
installing VLC will allow Windows Media Player to playback media types
that Microsoft did not bother with or is opposed to. It even has the
capability to bypass some copy protection on some DVDs. There is a free
program at handbrake.fr to rip DVD movies to your hard disk. It uses VLC
to bypass the copy protection. VLC also has the amazing capability to
transcode video in real time and broadcast it over the Internet. It is
just very versatile all around. It has the capability to support a wide
variety of user interfaces and skins. I am glad to see the latest version
for windows now has an accessible skin by default.

real substance, value, and content that I just try to make sure that I am
working on things that matter.

Hello all!
Want an accessible DVD and media player? Look no further than VLC Media
Player! You can select what part of the DVD you want to play simply by
using the VLC Media Player menus. No inaccessible DVD menu to navigate;
just select what you want from the user interface. You can even select an
audio described track if you have one.
You can download this free and open source program from www.videolan.org.
It even works with Windows 7 so you don't have to use Windows Media
Player, which is good but does not have an accessible DVD player.
Enjoy!
