See http://www.videolan.org, where you can download the latest version 0.7.1a from <http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/0.7.1/macosx/vlc-0.7.1a.dmg>, and also read: Free Software and Open Source video streaming solution for every OS! The VideoLAN project targets multimedia streaming of MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and DivX files, DVDs, digital satellite channels, digital terrestial television channels and live videos on a high-bandwidth IPv4 or IPv6 network in unicast or multicast under many OSes. VideoLAN also features a cross-plaform multimedia player, VLC, which can be used to read the stream from the network or display video read locally on the computer under all GNU/Linux flavours, all BSD flavours, Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, Solaris, QNX, Familiar Linux...
