VLC Ported to the IPhone

VLC, the grand master of all media players, has made its way to the iPhone and iPod Touch. VLC (Video LAN Client) is an open source media player maintained as a project by French school kids, and is known to be a player that you can “throw anything at” and it will just play.

The currently beta port, by Zodttd, is a hefty binary by iPhone standards, at 24MB, but it’s worth it: you can drag and drop any media file onto a jailbroken iPhone and it should just work. No more tedious conversion using the (quite excellent) Visual Hub.

Formats? XviD, h264, MPEG4, FLAC, 3GP, MP3, MPEG2 and AVI. In short, pretty much anything you’d find on the Pirate Bay.
