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

I use Media Player, but I think I should switch to VLC

Whats 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.
