What Media Player do you use to watch downloaded videos?

[maeglin69]

media player classic and VLC player

[BaconTopHat45]

cccp with media player classic. Have yet to find a video it can't play and i've tried.

[edition_chaos]

KMP player and window media FTW!!!!!!

I've given up on all players except for MPC-HC now.  I'm very fond of this player.  It plays so freaking well.

I still have mpc-hc and vlc installed, but I rarely use either anymore. XBMC has pretty much taken over all of my media needs. I wish it wasn't such a pig on resources, but the streaming apps have become to addictive.

XBMC PC edition. Seems to play everythign i throw at it.

[Kyle_Dimetri]

MPC-HC. Its like my ps3, it plays everything. hahahhahaha

[UpsyDaisy]

VLC is bad? i have never had a problem with it in my entire life

The poll mostly reflects information pulled from here. It's apparently a very buggy program and tends to be the cause of people's issues when it comes to playback. YMMV, but it's a more or less widely maligned media player, at least in tech circles. I personally have never had any issues with it, but I use it about as often as I wash the ceilings.

Media Player Classic Home Cinema Edtion 64bit latest build

[Pathos]

MPC-HC configured with xy-vsfilter, lav filters and madvr for me all the way. I love the quality, although madvr can certainly be taxing on older PCs.

Zoom media player

[Morisato-Kun]

I use VLC but I dont agree with the *worst playback ever* tagged on the end of it.

On Arch I was using Parole player as the output was very crisp and clear an it is dead quick. Had a few missing features so I have switched to,

XT-7-player which is fast and has all the features I need.

 

On Windows I use Zoom player or VLC. I prefer Zoom but it falls down on some  vids which VLC then plays. I'm not keen on using VLC, it is a decent player but it does not grab me.

The poll text is old/outdated. Before VLC 2.0, VLC would downscale video for smoother playback on shit PC's according to it's own website. VLC has always been a video program designed for the masses for ease of use and not for the technically advanced for quality. VLC is basically the Internet Explorer of Video Playback.

I either use VLC Media Player or Windows Media Player.

I use Zoom Player free on my work/play computers - I like the whole interface of it. I use xbmc on my Htpc. codec pack used to be CCCP, but they stopped upgrading it - i now use Sharks codec pack. I have no issues with Playback

[my2Rock]

I use MPC-HC for many years now, often nightly builds and in addition LAV filters.

A few videos made problems, for those + music + broken files I keep VLC around.

PLEX all the way! If you have a large library, and aren't using something like XBMC or Plex, you're missing out!
