\cf0 Welcome to the VideoLAN Client ! VLC is a multi-purpose mutimedia tool : it can play DVDs and VCDs, or read a stream from the network. It also supports DivX/MPEG-4 files and is unaffected by the dreaded .avi bug which can cause choppy sound when playing DivX in Quicktime. VLC has originally been developed for GNU/Linux systems, but has been ported to numerous operating systems, including Mac OS X and Win32. The Mac OS X port is a bit young and immature, as you will notice, and there are many caveats. We are working hard to improve it, and if you think you can help us in any way, please drop us a line.\

\f1\b VLC is NOT compatible with QuickTime 6 Preview. At this point, we suspect a bug in QuickTime 6 Preview. Known workaround are :\
- switch the screen depth to thousands of colors ;\
- downgrade to QuickTime 5 (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120084)\
\
Please do NOT report any problem with QuickTime 6 Preview. Use it at your own risks. Any report involving QuickTime 6 Preview will be deleted.

You may find the following frequentely asked questions useful :\
\
\f1\b \ul 1. How do I install ?
\f0\b0 \ulnone \
When you download VLC, you will end up with a vlc-0.4.1.dmg file. Doubleclick, or drop it on the application Disk Copy, to open this file. An icon will now appear on your Desktop, right beside your drive(s). Open it and drag the vlc application from the resulting window to the place where you want to install it. Most often this is /Applications.\

\
\f1\b \ul 2. How do use VLC?
\f0\b0 \ulnone \
To use VLC, you will need to open the application first and then from the "File" menu open the file or disk, you would like to view. Doubleclicking a file will result in Quicktime trying to open it and Quicktime can not benefit from the advantages VLC brings.\

3. How do I read an SVCD ?
\f0\b0 \ulnone \
VLC is currently unable to read SVCD directly from the drive. SVCDs contain plain MPEG-2 files which can be directly read. Just copy the .dat files in the SVCD onto your hard drive, and use the "Open File" menu item in VLC (drag and drop doesn't work yet).\

Some SVCDs can be read if you tell VLC they're VCDs, in the "Open Disc" dialog.\

Simply drag VLC from the place where you have installed it, to the Trash.\

\f1\b \ul 7. Where can I find an older version for Mac OS 9 ?\
\f0\b0 \ulnone There is no version for Mac OS 9. VLC is originally a UNIX application and has never been ported to Mac OS 9. Considering the amount of differences between Mac OS 9 and modern systems, it would require a tremendous work to port VLC. We do not plan to do it. So please don't ask.\
