VLC Player for iPad

[TechGate]

The famous media player VLC is now available for iPad. As with its other drafts for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and others, its aim is to swallow any video to play on the shelf then Apple.

To understand the value of a VLC on iPad, you should know that the management of videos on the shelf inherit the restrictions already imposed on the iPhone and iPod: a very short list of supported codecs, H. 264 is essentially highlighted. VLC can overcome this limit by agreeing to many formats, makes the list of all those who are usually supported, with some exceptions. It therefore includes the popular DivX and Xvid codecs. For cons, the media streaming is not yet the game.

The operations are in iTunes, using drag and drop applications that normally accept data:

In the panel Apps bottom of the page, there is the File Sharing section. You click on VLC, then dragged the videos that interest us from the Finder. Everything is after having enough room. However, there are some limitations. The video quality is slightly degraded, and it will not be able to play HD content, even in 720p. For example, we did the test with the video presentation of Cataclysm (next expansion to World of Warcraft), which is in DivX format and 720p. Performance is too poor to hope to see the video, even making compromises on his personal definition of "flow". For the rest, we had no problem with the videos tested.

This is version 1.0 and Applidium, which was responsible for developing this version iOS (the iPhone version should arrive soon), said in a recent interview that there Mac4Ever a big margin Progress on performance. We for our part maintained with this concept, one of the main developers of VLC. It told us that VLC 1.0 was mostly a chance to actually get on the App Store, marking the same time a policy change and an opening at Apple. Now that VLC is now the updates will address the many possible optimizations, including the activation of those that take advantage of the NEON instruction set, similar to that found Active on PowerPC. In addition, the operation of the video output is provided, but there is unfortunately unlikely that HD video can actually be exploited. Furthermore, we know that some APIs iPad are private, including those providing access to the DSP, and they are not currently usable by developers.

In our tests, made a few days ago, the application showed the powerful DivX video playback in Standard Definition. Significant point, the software supports subtitles, including the form of separate files (like. Srt). Playback of HD is more problematic, since the 720p, but developers considering optimization of the application.

VLC media player is a free open-source. It will play most media files, and various streaming protocols. This video player is very simple to use, while remaining very comprehensive and modular.
