Xine is a multimedia playback engine for Unix-like operating systems released under the GNU General Public License.

xine is built around a shared library (xine-lib) that supports different frontend player applications.

Another important feature of xine is the ability to manually correct the synchronization of audio and video streams.
xine uses libraries from other projects such as liba52, libmpeg2, FFmpeg, libmad, FAAD2, and Ogle.

xine can also use binary Windows codecs through a wrapper, bundled as the w32codecs, for playback of some media formats that are not handled natively.

Supported media formats

        * Physical media: CDs, DVDs, Video CDs
        * Container formats: 3gp, AVI, ASF, FLV, Matroska, MOV (QuickTime),           MP4, NUT, Ogg, OGM, RealMedia
        * Video formats: Cinepak, DV, H.263, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, HuffYUV,           Indeo, MJPEG, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP, RealVideo, Sorenson,           Theora, WMV (partial, including WMV1, WMV2 and WMV3; via FFmpeg)
        * Audio formats: AAC, AC3, ALAC, AMR, FLAC, MP3, RealAudio, Shorten,           Speex, Vorbis, WMA

Since xine is not a member of DVD Forum, the xine project are not contractually obliged to insert user operation prohibition such as disallowing fast-forward or skipping during trailers and ads.
However, without membership in the Forum, they also cannot support DVD CSS encryption without the libdvdcss library,
which was created by reverse engineering.

The legal status of libdvdcss is questionable in several nations; in the United States, for example, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act arguably prohibits reverse-engineering of CSS.
