===VLS===
The '''VLS''' (standing for '''VideoLAN Server''') project was originally intended to be used as a server for streaming videos. It has since been merged with the VLC project, and use of VLS is not encouraged.

===Codecs===
The VideoLAN project also hosts several audio/video [[Codec|decoding]] and [[encryption|decryption]] [[library (computer science)|libraries]], such as [[libdvdcss]] which allows the content of [[content Scramble System|CSS]] protected [[DVD]]s to be unscrambled, [[x264]] which can encode [[H.264/MPEG-4 AVC]] video, [[x265]] which can encode [[HEVC]] video, [[x262]] which can encode [[H.262/MPEG-2 Part 2|MPEG-2 video]], [[dav1d]] which can decode [[AV1]] video, [[libdca]] which can decode [[DTS Coherent Acoustics|DTS]] audio, and the [[Git (software)|git]] [[Repository (version control)|repository]] of the [[multimedia framework]] [[FFmpeg]].

===VLMa===
A new project has been developed, called '''VLMa''' (standing for '''VideoLAN Manager'''). VLMa is an application to manage broadcasts of TV channels, received through digital terrestrial or satellite ways. Its interface is provided as a web-site written in Java. It is also capable of streaming audio and video files. VLMa consists of a daemon (called VLMad) and a web interface (called VLMaw). VLMa is released under the GNU General Public License like [[VLC media player]].

===VLC media player Skin Editor===
The '''VLC Skin Editor''' is a simple program developed by VideoLAN. The simple interface allows users to create new skins for the [[VLC media player]] without knowledge of the VLC Skins2 XML System. The program lets users change features on the main window, playlist window, and equalizer window.
