desKrriado Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Best VIDEO player for you? Tell me why, and your Operative System (XP, Vista, Windows7, Linux, Mac) I use KMPlayer and GOM Player (In Windows), but KMPLayer works better for me, the sound quality is really great! For headset and HD 5.1. For Linux I prefer SMPlayer, KMPlayer and VLC Player. KMPlayer * Supported files and devices * Incomplete/damaged AVI files (the player can skip damaged frames) * the player can handle Locked media files while downloading or sharing (with real-time index rebuilding under certain conditions: AVI downloading in consecutive order) * the player supports incoming streams delivered via HTTP (ASF/OGG/MP3/AAC/MPEG PS/MPEG TS: only work with internal splitters) * the player supports DirectShow playback (AVI, WMV, MKV, MOV, MP4, Ogg theora, ogm, rmvb, mpeg1, mpeg2, http:// etc including almost every audio format playable via other supported decoders) o the player features an Async File Source(network) filter for memory caching o Compressed Audio Album Support (zip, rar) o Shoutcast (Including NSV), Icecast o DTS Wave, AC3, AAC, Ogg, Ape, MPC, FLAC, AMR, ALAC, SHN, WV, Module (MOD, S3M, MTM, UMX, XM and IT), etc. o Google Video (GVI), Flash Video (FLV), Nullsoft Streaming Video (NSV), 3GP, PMP, VOB * Real Engine + DirectShow (needs RealPlayer or Real Alternative or its decoders) * QuickTime engine + DirectShow (needs QuickTime or Alternative or its decoders) * the MPlayer engine is supported, but is not shipped with the package. * WinAmp input plugin support * DVD playback, ratDVD support (needs ratDVD filters) * Audio CD (2000, XP only) * Video CD/SVCD/XCD: CDXA Format (2000, XP only) * VCD image file (BIN/ISO/IMG/NRG) * WDM device support like TV/HDTV/Camera/Cam etc. * Adobe Flash/FLC/FLI * Various image files like png, gif, etc. * Video containers: AVI, ASF, WMV, AVS, FLV, MKV, MOV, 3GP, MP4, MPG, MPEG, DAT, OGM, VOB, RM, RMVB, TS, TP, IFO, NSV * Audio containers: MP3, AAC, WAV, WMA, CDA, FLAC, M4A, MID, MKA, MP2, MPA, MPC, APE, OFR, OGG, RA, WV, TTA, AC3, DTS * Pictures: BMP, GIF, JPEG/JPG, PNG * Playlists: ZIP/RAR (Audio archive only), LNK, ASX, WAX, M3U, M3U8, PLS, KPL, LNK, CUE, WVX, WMX * Subtitles: RT, SMI, SMIL, SUB, IDX, ASS, SSA, PSB, SRT, S2K, USF, SSF, TXT, LRC * Others: DVR-MS, DIVX, M4V, M2V, PART, VP6, RAM, RMM, SWF, TRP, FLC, FLI * Covered Codec/Filters K-Multimedia Player includes almost all the essential decoders required for media playback.

Bob the Android Penguin Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 So far I've been rolling with VLC player on Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04. It plays even the most unfamiliar (to my eyes) video files. It hasn't given me a reason to dump it. However, I am always open to trying other programs.

I Love Lamp Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I use Media Player, but I think I should switch to VLCWhats the difference? Does it play more files than Media Player? It can play literally any file, you just need to find the proper codecs for the more obscure ones. But it's base library should be more than enough. It's what I use too.
