You can download VLVC from our website in this section.
Many files are available for download : sources, binaries and documentation.

We have currently tested under Windows XP, Debian and Ubuntu.
Due to the numbers of various Linux Distribution, we can't try everything,
your feedbacks are helpfull.

• Ubuntu users : there is a how-to file that explains what to do to compile VLVC.
• Mac users : there is currently no version available.

To know what we modified between two versions, you should consult our changelog on this page.

  - "udp://@:12340"
