andyhui01 · February 2nd, 2005, 12:31 PM

I just use Windows Media with Codecs... its the easiest to use and scan through the video

A really good one is the "Video Lan Client" because it has built in codecs and will play just about everything.
But somehow I like the interface of "BSplayer" more. I guess this is my favourite!!!

Get em at www.bsplayer.org and www.videolan.org/vlc/

Use Media Player Classic that comes with the Mega KLite codec pack, it works with Real and quick time files via Real/QUick time Alternative that comes with the Mega Codec pack, been using it for years, love it.

WMP with codecs

Overheat · February 3rd, 2005, 12:38 AM

I use Windows Media Player Classic and the Real/Quicktime Alternative tools.

mmap · February 3rd, 2005, 10:34 AM

WMP and VLC for what WMP can't play...

AutoMX · February 3rd, 2005, 4:06 PM

URUSoft ViPlay for most things (i have a PC remote cuz im lazy) and Media Player Classic for other things cuz it can skip through streaming media (WMP cant)

jasonchiu · February 4th, 2005, 5:22 PM

right now i have WMP10 with klite codec. what else should one add?

Viper007Bond · February 4th, 2005, 7:58 PM

WMP10 for videos as I like the fullscreen controls. Only thing I use WMP for.

PowerDVD for DVD files/discs and Winamp for music.

I'd use VLC, but it's too... basic.

jasonchiu · February 5th, 2005, 2:27 AM

yeha power DVD i'll go download that now :>

cvrefugee · February 5th, 2005, 8:28 AM

I tried VLC - sucks ass. It stuttered when playing a regular AVI file. WTF is that all about? The interface was also shitty so I went back to WMP9 (10 sucks).

One thing that pisses me off about WMP is that I can't fast-forward certain DivX/XviD movies. It used to work and then I was messing around with some codecs and now I can't get it to work like normal. So I use Winamp to play all of those types of videos (such as my Top & Fifth Gear videos images/smilies/smile.gif

)

TechZ · February 5th, 2005, 11:44 AM

I say keep both MPC and WMP, cause MPC has good shortcuts for volume, changin screen size etc, WMP is just nice to use.

K-Lite is all teh codecs you need.

Dark_Templer_102 · February 5th, 2005, 1:27 PM

I use VLC as well...but still use WMP 10 every once in a while

jasonchiu · February 6th, 2005, 5:04 PM

right now its WMP10 and Klite codec pack and everything seems to work :>

i wish someone would make a player with EVERYTHING u ever need to play videos with

TechZ · February 6th, 2005, 7:35 PM

Well MPC can play it all, AVI, MPEG, RM, MOV, you name it, it can play it. Or just go to doom9.org register on the forums and ask the maker to add something new!

ruuman · February 7th, 2005, 10:25 PM
