It also documents a massive CPU overhead to get through the DRM clips. They've also recently licensed it to the developer of Zoomplayer for Windows who stated multiple frustrations not only obtaining the license but countless bugs in Windows and the DRM that prevented his initial release of a product with it requiring personal intervention by a single developer who without which the license would be worthless.

To me the response they gave was in the context that WMV was not a closed codec and a self promoting aspect for HDDVD inclusion, they implied it's for license and quote some rare devices that support it.

That OS X is an OS for smelly hippies who live on a collective farm and spend their time trying to "open" their minds and DRM>2 can only be applied to content viewed within the confines of a corporate cubicle? That OS X is not "tight" enough security-wise? That the DRM code would be exposed and allow people to reverse-engineer it? The app can only be installed on jailbroken devices.What exactly does "open" mean in this context? VideoLAN also distributes an iOS version of their player for owners of an Apple iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. It plays most codecs with no codec packs needed, including MPEG-2, H.264, DivX, MPEG-4, WebM, WMV player, and it’s completely free to download and use.ĭonations to the VideoLAN project are, of course, much appreciated. VLC Player accepts everything from the most common media files and Discs (DVD, CD, VCD, Blu-Ray) to Webcams and Streams.
