Videolan getting better at each release!

• In all softwares: video player, file viewer and even in office documents (also in order to disallow legal reverse engineering…because protected DRM file are not subject to free reverse engineering in America)

• At the hardware level: mainboard bus PCI :-(- even video output (Output Content Protection and Windows Longhorn)

BUT there is still an island of resistance, where open source formats (and a lot of closed) are fully supported
If You wan to enjoy a media player which is not calling home each time You open a video, and
not crippled with DRM, then You are ready to try VideoLan in it’s version 0.8.2
