VLC player for iPad

Do you own an iPad ? Love watching movies on your iPad? iPad is a great device to watch movies. But the problem till now was that Apple has limited iPad to play only MP4 files and its own Quick Time format files. If you want to watch any movie which is not either MP4 or a Quick Time files, you need to go through the long and cumbersome conversion process. This is true for the popular DivX and AVI format files too. When all the upcoming devices are coming up with a support to play the files in this format, Apple’s stubbornness to stick to those two file formats has often been criticized. But thanks to Video LAN team, they have worked hard to make an iPad app which enables the users to play videos in almost-all formats.

With the VLC Media player app, iPad users can play those popular AVI or DivX format files without any problems but some minor issues may arise if you choose to play formats like Real media files or MKV files etc.
