Tx for the heads up Vlc roxorz!
_Andrew Kramer For President

Yes, i agree.
I use it also, great media player

nice update….hehe

Using it also.
Play EVERYTHING. Try it!

yeah vlc rocks. I had trouble playing some QT files on my laptop with vista..not sure why…but vlc plays those same files no sweat.

@Bo: you named the reason yourself. it starts with “v” and ends with “ista”

yeah, i always use vlc. Its da shizzle

THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST Etc…

I use it on my computer it is very good.

plays allots of formats, and keeps me away from installing many player in the same time.

Thanks,

Peace.

Been using VLC for a while. Love it and I LOVE the new update.

My favorite too, thnx for the update…

oh yeah.
VLC is da bomb.

VLC is my favourite player as well – I’m not a big fan of the new interface (the Qt one for Windows and Linux) though – I thought the old one looked a lot nicer… The Mac OS version looks great though.

That aside, it is an absolutely awesome player – There is hardly a time when it can’t play a file I throw at it.

GOM Player – THE BEST of THE BEST =)

thanks allot!!!
go kramer!!
hahah that sounds funny ;[

go VC!!
That sounds better! ;]

thanks for the information!!

i was wandering if you could put a photo of your home office or tell us what kind of PC spec you use…

thanks again.

Anyone ever used K-lite mega codec pack
media player classic is my choice

would have used vlc but it looks kind of strange
and most of all it dosen’t plays real media and 3gpp files !

is that free?

Hey the GOM Player looks nice too, must give it a try.

Yeah it is a good program. I’ve been using it for quite some time.

KMPlayer is the BEST!

KMPlayer handles a wide range of subtitles and allows you to capture audio, video, and screenshots in many ways. The player provides both internal and external filters with a fully controlled environment in terms of connections to other splitters, decoders, audio/video transform filters and renderers without grappling with the DirectShow merit system. Internal filters are not registered to user’s system to keep it from being messed up with system filters.

The KMPlayer includes almost all the essential decoders required for media playback. Furthermore, to get beyond the limitation of internal decoders, the external ones such as commercial h.264 decoders or cyberlink/intervideo audio decoders can be specified, so that KMP works optimally by the users’ own customization. Even though the KMP is based upon directshow structure, it supports Winamp, Realmedia and Quicktime by the internal logic. Thus, it is possible to specify where to try to connect firstly the media in preferences.

Experiment!

Pff The Windows Media Player Classic is as good as the ones above. Plays everything.
I was playing FLV’s three years back through this. So
if you make a commercial for a player.. then please give some more players some respect. So try the K-lite mega codec pack.

I tried this new version, but soon I noticed that I couldn’t instantly jump to any point in time in a video file, especially DV-AVI. I had to restart playback completely. Also, the new interface doesn’t look as compact as before. So I installed the old version again.

lol thanks Andrew.. i use vlc for a longgg time now and if u hadnt post this probably i would never find out that a new version came out :p

I prefer to use K-Lite

VLC is great, but in my opinion, Media Player Classic is the best.

been using it alongside Media Player Classic for a very long time now

I’m using it now already for about 3 years. Yep, you right it works great!

VLC ALL DAY

PLAYS EVERYTHING

I’ve been using it for a while, but for now I prefer WMP Classic + K-Lite Mega Codec Pack

MPC just needs 1 thing in in addition

quick time alternative , and both are free too !!

i have’nt stumbled upon anything ever that it can’t play !!

only thing it lacks from vlc is – skins.

but i don’t think most of RAM saving people will look down to it, sometimes for it’s sake we work in windows classic, don’t we!

I get errors with VLC Player all the time… I just use Quick Time, this plugin lets you play almost any file in Quick Time!
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/perian.html

I think I’ll stick with Media Player Classic, simple.

nice……used it a while too….

vlc tops windows media any day, no codec problems ever.

Thanks for sharing!
I already have it

Keep up Andrew!

yes absolutely RIGHT Andrew,

its an ultimate player, I’m using it since it was released.

VLC is good, but I prefer BS Player. Both are great.

Its pretty good. The only thing I don’t like is that it crashes when I try to play my HD movies under the mkv format on my Mac.

Oddly enough, that’s my least favorite.. *shrug*

I dunno zoom player can play everything that vlc can and looks nicer, I think it just costs for the premium version. But if you look at this page and scroll down it can play alot of things http://www.inmatrix.com/

Please watch your language, family friendly site.

To everyone: there is no need to get competitive, just post a link to a player you prefer.

KMplayer is free and the BEST!
http://kmplayer.kde.org/

It plays mov files, flv, DVD, and almost anything you can think of.

Nice, thanks for the update. However it seems to have some glitches here on my iMac running 10.4… hmm… still worth a keep for sure though

Great update for VLC Only 4 more years to next one ;p
I love the new interface, and the Minimal View, though minimal view should have a hotkey…
great anyways

VLC is greath.

But i prefer GOM Player … also plays FLV and everything else.

Regards from Serbia!

I always used the VLC and the new update is really great. Now I can jump forward in FLVs and WMVs without any problems.
I think the VLC is the best player, especially for MPEG-4/ASP. I use Media Player Classic (MPC) for MPEG-4/AVC, WMV and QuickTime though.
So, my best player is a combination of VLC and MPC.

I prefer media player classic (MPC):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/
The reason for this is that it can be customized to my likings, like I can skip X frames with a click. It seems to take all the codecs with a smile. According to fansubbers, they say that MPC is better to render subtitles that are soft-subbed (srt files), or MKV files with soft-subtitles.
I’ve heard that VLC aren’t that good with subtitles (have anyone heard anything on that?)-
MPC can also take real files and other things as long as you got the codec installed.
However, I use VLC on my school computer. It seems find, got problem with text rendering though. It’s good when you don’t need all the codecs, and don’t have enough hard-drive space for them .
Hopefully they’ll fix the minor bugs soon ^^

Yea, ive been using it for a while, since it plays .flv and .mp4’s, and has the easiest interface..

happy vlc user for years

Like Pev said .. The KMPlayer is the best player nowadays .. There is no compare.trust.. just use it !!

Polish player – BestPlayer is the best
http://www.bestplayer.com.pl/
no instalation, automaticly download film cover, have some video tools like: brightness, contrast, color gamma

i know this player. i use it every day

VLC and Quicktime are my players.

By the way,

I don’t mean to be a bother but any word on when the T-shirts go for sale?

Andrew sorry, I know that I can get very explosive in the way I communicate.

@Zvi: I totally agree! I used VLC a long time but then i switched over to KMPlayer. Its cleaner, supports same filetypes as VLC (and even some more that noone ever noticed before) and doesnt take much resources.

you can get the latest beta version here:
http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=49312#post49312

I use VLC media player too. but when i try import a movie clip that VLC file it says it CANT ! only quicktime file types can it upload to AE cs3. is it the same for you guys ?

my tooo ^^

Cool! I can’t wait for those other tutorials. It’s like if you knew The Sopranos was gonna back, but you didn’t know when.

Neat!

I agree with VLC but unless I have something set incorrectly, the sound produced when playing mp3’s by it is not as good as WMV player or QT.

vlc and foobar and qt, meow!

I use K-Lite with Windows Media Classic
Simple and plays everything

I use command prompt :\.. jk

I will have to agree with Andrew on this… I think VLC is a very nice program

I have to say perian (from a mac only perspective)!

But VLC is very good nevertheless.

Good thing about VLC is it even can play a spoiled video file which, I think, others cant. I use both VLC and K-lite (Media Classic Player).

awesome stuff

hello cool

thanks…

dude thats cool but weve been usen vcl for a year now …
try something calld k-lite codek pack here a hint yo can play flvs on windows media player cool stuff

my bad k-codec pack

I don’t get why everybody loves VLC. The only good thing is it plays most formats, but it doesn’t exactly play them well. It’s not frame accurate, so doing frame-by-frame is useless, when you press pause it stops it like half a second after you pressed the button, skipping forward and back with any accuracy is out the window, etc etc. Media Player Classic plays *almost* everything and gives you so much more control over playback, not to mention it’s more lightweight. I use VLC only when something doesn’t play in that.

VLC is my favorite player too. and the last version is better.

Thanks, I was still using the old version.
also, giv media player classic a try. It can do pretty much the same stuff, but also can go frame by frame and slow motion

Latest Mac version, WMV files still play like bad. Other than that it’s a good player.

Hey question.. I use K-lite mega codec pack, but i didnt install/use the windows player CLASSIC version. Is there a reason why the classic version is better that WMP 11? Thanks!

Still a bit buggy, but one of the best freeware media players out there for sure.

i hve been using vlc for a long time and i can say that there is no video format it cant open

I use both, vlc and mediaplayer classic. Great player but prefer mc.

I personally prefer VLC Media Player!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Try it out you’ll see why it’s better.

Man I installed this and the next thing I know Firefox completely to a dirt nap. I had to reinstall Firefox clean, losing all my bookmarks.

Not 100% sure this was the cause but it happened right after I installed it.

VLC is really good, but hasn’t the possibility to grab…
I think that many people are agree with me.
But it reads all the formats (also .mkv)!

hi
yes VLC player is a good media player because it is fast and can read almost everything (rmvb) without codec BUT ,it needs a lot of filters and a good integration with subtitles and a attractive Original interface to be in the level of KMplayer ..the mediaPlayer that lack one thing Speeeeeed.

PS:sorry for my English .

oh yes i think i understand what you mean M andrew . the new VLC player is really good !!!

Yes, I have been using it for my Mac to play movies that required certain codecs. I just got it for my PC also to replace Windows Media Player.

I love VLC. Been using for forever.

I love K-Lite
Media Player classic

thank you andrew

I had been very skeptical about VLC but… if Mr. President says its good… I guess I will try it
Thanks for everything Andrew

I like VLC, but can not make 3D Playlist like ALLPlayer and can not get automatic subtitles from opensubtitles.org.

There is cool blog that shows this allplayer.wordpress.com

wow this player is great, i always thought something was wrong with my converter but now i know its just the media player(quicktime) that was messed up.

trying it out

KMPlayer is still the best according to me.

funnily enough, it plays pretty much everything but the default after effects render setting :p It will tend to get the channels wrong, though that may be my configuration.

I love this for playing MKV files and VOB files. It gets the different audio tracks, and even overlays the subtitles!

Cool; I use it too. It allows me to get videos off YouTube and on to my iPod for free!
