Sparky Stereo OS:
=================

This is the stereo version of VLC by Sparky Stereo OS, forked from
videolan/vlc (https://github.com/videolan/vlc). It is called VLC Stereo. It
shows both views of a stereoscopic video. It reads the packing from the
H.264 and H.265 frame packing SEI and from Matroska StereoMode, and it
signals the packing when it encodes with x264. Its audio defaults favour
quality: 48 kHz, floating point samples and the SoX Resampler.

Where it comes from:

- VLC (https://www.videolan.org/vlc/) is made by VideoLAN and the VLC
  authors; see AUTHORS and THANKS.
- Debian (https://www.debian.org/) is the base of the system.
- SparkyLinux (https://sparkylinux.org/), by Paweł "pavroo" Pijanowski,
  builds on Debian.
- Sparky Stereo OS (https://github.com/Sparky-OS/sparky-stereo-os) is the
  stereo 3D edition of SparkyLinux: SparkyOS, powered by Debian.

The 3.0.24-3d-stereo branch holds the version the distribution builds. The
branch starts from VLC 3.0.24. The licences are unchanged; see COPYING and
COPYING.LIB.

README for the VLC media player
===============================

VLC is a popular libre and open source media player and multimedia engine,
used by a large number of individuals, professionals, companies and
institutions. Using open source technologies and libraries, VLC has been
ported to most computing platforms, including GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OS X,
BSD, iOS and Android.
VLC can play most multimedia files, discs, streams, allows playback from
devices, and is able to convert to or stream in various formats.
The VideoLAN project was started at the university École Centrale Paris who
relicensed VLC under the GPLv2 license in February 2001. Since then, VLC has
been downloaded close to one billion times.
