Description-en: SVG plugin for VLC
VLC is the VideoLAN project's media player. It plays MPEG, MPEG-2, MPEG-4,
DivX, MOV, WMV, QuickTime, WebM, FLAC, MP3, Ogg/Vorbis files, DVDs, VCDs,
podcasts, and multimedia streams from various network sources.
.
This plugin allows you to render SVG graphics on top of the video. It is a text
renderer, and must be activated through the '--text-renderer svg' option. When
sent non-SVG data, it will convert it to SVG using a template that can be
specified by the svg-template-file option.
