We all know VLC as one of the most simple and yet effective video and audio player for a wide variety of systems. After its latest updated for PC this is vlc4iphone. It almost plays anything which you through at it and is a great solution for playing XviD, h264, MPEG4, FLAC, 3GP etc. But still lacks some punch and has many technical issues with video playback and sound, i personally found the latest version (vlc4iphone0.9.9) much more stable. Although it looks the same it is much improved from its previous versions. It now plays XviD, h264, MPEG4, FLAC, 3GP, MP3, MPEG2, AVI, and more!

The newest features and improvements are as follows:

• Compiled in FFmpeg!
• MANY more decoders supported, including support for XviD, h264, MPEG4, FLAC, 3GP, MP3, MPEG2, AVI, and more!
• Added volume control.
• Fixed a warning when no media is found.
• Increased the size of vlc4iphone’s binary from 5MB to 24MB! Lots of media goodness packed inside!

If you’re dying to play unsupported file types on your device and still don’t want to transcode them to do so, vlc4iphone can do the trick. vlc4iphone is free, requires a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch. You can expect good things to happen soon from vlc4iphone.
