google videoでVLC playerがビデオ再生に使われる

google videoでブラウザ内でのビデオ再生にVLC playerが使われることになった。googleはVLC playerに改造を施してダウンロードできるようにするほか，googleコード・プロジェクトの一環としてVLCコードをオープンソース・コミュニティーに公開する予定とのこと。

Google will not disclose the raw numbers of videos that have been uploaded to date, but the company will make all those which were tagged as "free" available for real time streaming through the VLC player, which Google has modified and will make available for download Monday morning. The company also intends to make its VLC code available to the open source community as part of their Google code project.
