VLC media player intro and news

We will quickly go through the history and organization of the VLC media player project and the foundation behind it. Then we will look at the high- level pipeline architecture of a software media player, with containers, codecs, filters, etc. Most importantly, we will review the key new features in VLC 3.0 and ongoing work and predictions for the upcoming VLC 4.0 and future versions.
