I use Media Player Classic for both audio and video. It's really fast, has all the functions I need, supports all file types and plays broken files too. I have pretty slow computer and media player classic handles large video files much better than VLC, which I'm using sometimes on the other computer.

I like Real Player the best. It works great for me, and its free, which is very important.Although I don't like their newest upgrade, so I kept the last one and haven't upgraded even though they bug me a lot to do so.

I used Real Player Gold for many years. It's cool

I have VLC, Windows Media Classic, of course, then I also have DivX player. It all depends on what type of media file I'm playing. Sometimes one software is better than the other.

Classic Media Player, I have heard of it but never used it. I use VLC and find it great, it seems to play anything you throw at it and its easy to use. I might check out Classic Media Player and see what it all about as I know lots of people that use it and swear by it.


myLot reputation of 79/100. Bionicman (1901)   ranked 97 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

You probably have it already.
Try right click > open with > choose program and maybe you'll see it there

I just seem to have VLC and windows default player. Is the windows default player the one you are talking about ?


myLot reputation of 79/100. Bionicman (1901)   ranked 97 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Nope. It comes with K-lite codec pack.

Thanks for the info I will check it outthumbup

MPC.

Light, classic and simple look and interface, a decent range of options and possibilities, can play files with soft subs without any problem, it's adaptable when it comes to codec and splitter usage. What's not to like about it?

I think that it's lacking a nice playlist like say... Winamp's, but otherwise. I'm just plain and simply not using clunky WMP just because of that feature for sure, plus that or any other player out there is just too flashy for its own good. I want a player to see video or watch music, not to see some fancy show light or a pretty GUI skin.


myLot reputation of 79/100. Bionicman (1901)   ranked 97 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Yeah, playlist is the only thing I don't like about it.

I use winamp for audio and media player classic for videos. Sometimes MPC doesn't support some videos, so I go for VLC. Winamp works best for audio atleast for me because its fast and doesn't take long for opening...


myLot reputation of 79/100. Bionicman (1901)   ranked 97 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

If you install mega codec pack, you won't find a video file it won't play.


myLot reputation of 97/100. pratyushtamhankar (526)   ranked 152 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Well you are right in a way. MPC can play every format but what I'm talking about is something different. Sometimes videos are damaged, corrupt or incomplete (like when you download from a torrent and the torrent ain't completed downloading). In such cases, VLC is what comes handy...


myLot reputation of 79/100. Bionicman (1901)   ranked 97 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

I'm playing broken and unfinished files with MPC. One time the mkv file was corrupt and there were missing bits. Both MPC and VLC could play the video fine, but only with MPC I could see the subtitles.

The only thing I don't like about vcl is when I hit pause, there's like half second delay. Is it the same for you or is it because I have a slower computer?


myLot reputation of 79/100. Bionicman (1901)   ranked 97 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Oh, and sometimes I have some problems taking snapshots with MPC so I use VLC for that.


myLot reputation of 97/100. pratyushtamhankar (526)   ranked 152 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Ya VLC is good for screenshots. I don't usually take screen shots but still I've always used VLC for that purpose. And about the delay, maybe it depends upon the video quality. The frames per second property of it might determine whether it'll form a delay thats noticeable or not...

My favorite is vlc, it can play files that some of my media players can't but i still have miro, quicktime and Itunes installed in my mac just in case but so far, I'm yet to encounter codec error or missing plug ins everytime I play some multimedia files.

I haven't used winamp for years. I remember I had Dragon Ball and Mortal Kombat skins back in the day.

I use VLC media player and GOM player. The latter runs in lesser memory but I usually use the former because I've grown more comfortable with it. I hate Windows Media Playerlol


myLot reputation of 79/100. Bionicman (1901)   ranked 97 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

I don't like windows media player either. But the one I hate the most is quicktime player

I use Windows Media Player and VLC. Sometimes I have seen some files do not play in media player and ends up with showing some error. Though if I try them in VLC they run smoothly. I like the VLC skins and I audio effects configurations in Media player.


myLot reputation of 79/100. Bionicman (1901)   ranked 97 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Maybe I'll check some VLC skins too even tho I like it simple and clean.
