+VLC media player is a free and open source media player and multi-
+media framework written by the VideoLAN project. VLC is a portable
+multimedia player, encoder, and streamer supporting many audio and
+video codecs and file formats as well as DVDs, VCDs, and various
+streaming protocols. It is able to stream over networks and to
+transcode multimedia files and save them into various formats.
+
+This build aims to support as many options as possible using
+the SlackBuilds listed in the REQUIRES field of the vlc.info file.
+No script changes are necessary to include particular options; if they
+are detected at at build time, they will be included. Conversely if
+optional packages are not available at build time, vlc will continue
+to build with a reduced feature set.
+
+This SlackBuild also builds in support for BlackMagic Design's "Decklink"
+range of video inout and output cards, including those with UHD (3840x2160)
+capability.
+
+Please advise the maintainer to suggest support for any further options.
