Yea, there isn't much better than the "Media Player Classic" Video player that comes free with the k-lite codec pack. It starts up instantly without all the junky glitter that other players have (with their skins and junk). But it still has a mess of features that you could use to do stuff (like if the sound goes out of sink by a few hundred milliseconds you can shift it so that it lines back up again). Also, sometimes your video has sound that doesn't get through to your TV (if you hook it up through the head phone jack) that you can get to work by redirecting the audio from one channel to another. Its a powerful enough video player, but it doesn't seem like it (which is a plus cause the power doesn't get in your way).

So, get the k-lite codec pack and after you install it it will have the "Media Player Classic". Also, the codec pack itself is pretty good. It gives you everything you will need to get all your videos running. Mind you I did notice that there was some conflicts in one of the games that I was playing (I think it was Fallout 3), but that went away after I installed the next update.

Oh, so "Media Player Classic" for the PC, but for the Mac it would be VLC Player. VLC Player isn't as powerful as "Media Player Classic", but you aren't going to find much that is on the Mac without it taking 12 hours for the app to load. VLC Player, like "Media Player Classic", loads quickly. And that is probably the best feature of any video player. You want to be able to quickly click through videos/music/etc looking for something and if it takes forever to load the player then it is not a good player (if you ask me).

Oh, by the way, I used "Media Player Classic" and VLC Player (mac) for all of my music as well. On the Mac it is iTunes that is the default for playing audio files. What a disaster that is. You double click on a little web audio link and 10 minutes later iTunes is loaded and importing the audio file before it finally plays it. You definitely need to change the default audio settings for your audio files on your Mac to point to the VLC Player. On the PC you can just go to the option settings for "Media Player Classic" and tell it to set all of the file formats to use "Media Player Classic" as the default. That way it won't load Microsoft's stupid player by default.

VLC and 55inch HD Vizio TV.

VLC player, I have some troubles at first, but only because I dont have "Use GPU acceleration" option activate xD

Media Player Classic Home Cinema!

VLC media player

I use my popcorn hour c-200 so can see then on my big screen tv in 1080p :-)

MPLAYER or Media Player Classic Home Cinema

I have an htpc running xbmc 24/7. No need for codecs and it has the best looking interface any media player has to offer. It also scrapes media for images/info/ratings/trailers etc. Best part, its free!

vlc works well for me

Splash Pro works great and is worth checking out, VLC and windows media player are mainstays, and Universal Viewer is good to have around too. I never found Core or any others that are out there to be worth while.

Not familiar w the codecs that are out there.

Splash HD because it can use hardware acceleration, and XBMC for HTPC

i prefereed Daum player or Km player..

I use BS.Player as it can play rard content also...;)

Media Player Classic Home Cinema + CCCP is best for me .

MPC Home Cinema x64 + Win7codecs(with x64 components) :shades_smile:

I have a Western Digital Live HD streaming them from a ReadyNas where the torrents and saved movies go.

Vlc Player is da best

mpc-hc with ffdshow and avisynth

Media Player Classic on my PC

the best player ever is home media player classic with FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder is the best combination... and you can see the results.

I usually use VLC or Power DVD

tmt5 but it crashes a lot

Use VLC player

don't mess the gay! use MPC-HomeCinema.1.5.2.3456.x64 or x86

Try this and talk later :)

I totally agree.
Stay away from crap like VLC, PowerDVD etc.

MPC HC. Look no further !

Yes this is a nice player, i seem to like it better than vlc http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/downlo...lassic-hc.html

I use Splash PRO

AVS Media Player

VLC aslong as you set things up right (use yadiffx2!!) unless you're watching a movie that needs subs in which case Kantaris is DEFINITELY! the best, i've searched around so hard looking for best players for subs and kantaris has came out top from every one i tested as it overlays subs ontop of video really nicely, can turn horrible looking subs on regular players into smooth / clean edged quality ones.

I use VLC it's simple and works every time. Link here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

VLC is alright, but I don't like it because subtitle rendering is horrific, the filter chain isn't transparent, and it refuses to use external filters even if you try to set it to do so. No color calibration included. Subjectively, the interface is also ugly. Funny, because VideoLAN is largely responsible for x264.

Anyway, from my experience the best simple solution is to use SMPlayer2. Link: Here

A more thorough solution, which is what I use, involved Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC) SVN builds, combined with LAV filters using mad-vr as the renderer. You can find downloads for both LAV and mad-vr on doom9. xhmikosr's builds for MPC-HC have worked well for me: MPC-HC Nightly Builds. An outdated but still relevant guide based off of nand's original can be found here: Advanced MPC-HC Setup Guide - with madVR + LAV Filters (v1.1) - Forums - MyAnimeList.net. I don't agree with everything this poster has written, but it's pretty good. Namely, madFLAC is not needed, and encouraging the use of CUVID/QuickSync even if the user doesn't need it is questionable. Namely, hardware acceleration cannot render 10-bit. With HEVC coming, this will be a moot point. I believe there are other issues, but I can't recall them right now.

for HD-movies mostly VLC

MPC. Media Player Classic. Best lightweight player.

MPC-HC with some plugins - https://wakku.to/faq/playback/setup-...r-mpc-hc-madvr
and this - SmoothVideo Project (SVP) - motion estimated frame interpolation with any video player and frame doubling in real-time

Great downscale / upscale, convert video to 60fps.

I using media player classic (mpc) with codecs: ffdshow + ac3 + coreavc.
For subtitles i use directvobsub (the best program for subtitle

VLC player never failed me!
