A free portable version of Video LAN's famous player.
VLC Media Player Portable is an excellent choice for an extremely versatile media player, and now it is also available as a portable application from PortableApps.
As a portable application, you can easily execute VLC Media Player Portable from portable media storage devices such as USB thumbdrives and even memory cards.
The interface of VLC Media Player is basic and easy to understand. The features and settings are neatly organized, though very comprehensive. You can customize virtually every aspect of VLC including its streaming and playback capabilities. Themes are available to change the look and feel of the software.
Video and audio enhancements are one of the main staples of VLC Media Player and the portable version is no different from the regular release. The 12-band audio equalizer provides for excellent audio enhancement along with its spatializers.
Video streaming capabilities can be realized through HTTP, RTP, MMS and RTSP protocols.
Highly recommended if you need an easy way to play media when you're not at your own PC or if you're reluctant to install it permanently. We highly recommend portable and traditional versions of VLC Media Player.
