VideoLan’s main project, VLC media player, received a long-awaited update yesterday, taking a leap from version 0.8.6c to 0.8.6d.

The VideoLan project publishes its content under the GNU license, keeping VLC and all its other products free and open source.

With cross-platform compatibility between Windows, OS X, and Linux operating systems and the ability to play nearly any video or audio format in the universe without having to install any codecs, VLC is the standard in media playback.

The new version of VLC features a security fix for its ActiveX plugin, better compatibility in OS X Leopard, support for recent OGG file formats, and a number of other features and fixes.

If you’re not using VLC to view your media files (at least video), you should be.
