VLC media player is a free, multi-purpose media player. Its price and ability to support a wide variety of media formats makes it a popular choice for enjoying movies, video clips and audio on a personal computer. Although the player has a number of features that make it a good choice for personal entertainment, the developers concentrate on enhancing the software. Not the documentation. Many features, including the ability to split video output across several screens, are not documented on the official VideoLAN website. In the case of VLC, lack of documentation doesn't mean lack of ability.
