“VLC Player” for iPad has been finally approved by Apple and is now available in the App Store for FREE.
According to folks at AppAdvice it performs reasonably well with DivX and Xvid files as they play smoothly in their original quality. However our initial impressions at iThinkDifferent Labs seem to differ, since among the first three sample files we tested, none of them appeared to play normally.
A low resolution Xvid file played audio only but not video, a high resolution .mkv file was a bit overwhelming for the iPad to play as well and finally a .VOB file was failed to be even recognized by the VLC on iPad. Supposedly it also supports a bunch of other formats, though we have not yet tested them. As for the interface, it’s pretty nice and sleek!
In short, this is a great step nonetheless as Apple has finally started allowing apps which previously could never make their way to the AppStore and I’m pretty sure there’s alot more to come in future updates of the VLC Player for iPad. Also, an iPhone version of VLC media player is under development and will be coming soon for iPhone users.
