* It supports a large number of multimedia formats, without the need for additional codecs
* It can also be used as a streaming server, with extended features (video on demand, on the fly transcoding, and more)
* It plays MPEG-1,MPEG-2,MPEG-4,DivX, mp3, ogg, DVD, VCDs, and more video and audio formats!
