The VideoLAN Forums

How awesome would it be to have a Mp3/4 in you pocket that plays every video and music file out there.
Just think of the possibilities. no more video converters that dont seem to work no matter what you do.

I really think this should be a project for VideoLan.

As an alternative to the iPad, I believe some people have started looking at developing an Android version of VLC, but I haven't heard anything since. This was not a project being undertaken by the videolan team - they already have enough on their plate at this point.

The other alternative is simply to convert all your files to MPEG4, which is supported by many portable media players.
