Usually, I use DivX or Windows Media Player. Or you know...there's always the TV if the computer isn't handy.

I use powerDvd for watching dvd movies since i believe it is the best DVD software out there since it does wonderful stuff for audio. For any other movie i use Winamp since i like how it can use Dee2 to make the audio sound awesome on my 7.1 speaker system. Plus, you can use whatever plugins you like on movies if u dont have dee2 or what not

I use BSplayer. Its really good and so far it has played anything I put on it. It came with a lot of codecs for free. PowerDvd is good for dvds, I have it as default.

I use Windows Media Player for most of my stuff. I just like the look. Anything that doesn't work in Media Player goes to VLC. VLC is quite a good player, put I don't like there look. And WMP has addon's and a media library etc. But its a little pushy on computer resources. So basically, I am set for life with WMP and VLC. Until VLC has a music library option, I won't be switching anytime soon.

I'm using Power DVD also. I was looking for a dvd player that I could use to capture frames from my dvds to use to make animations for flash pages.It plays movies ok,Ive only figured out how to capture every other frame which seems to work ok as well unless you do it manually then I was able to cap each frame, but I didnt feel that was necessary to get a good animation.

I use windows media player for everything not .avi and .mov. For .avi files, I use powerdvd, and for .mov, I use quicktime. All programs came with my computer, so it's pretty handy....no downloading.

Anyone know why you cant play movies in vlc on a 2nd monitor i.e if you have laptop plugged into another monitor \ tv? im sure i looked at most options. :)

Well, since I have a Mac I normally use VLC Player or QuickTime and that just covers each and every file type available! I think it is great that VLC supports that many extensions because it really makes things easy...

I had quite a few problems with playing real player files or windows media players files in safari, because I just couldn't get them to work inside safari! Well the solution is Flip4Mac, a great simple program that enable quicktime to play WMA and also enables Safari to play wma files inside itself...and that is all I need.

I use vlc player.

I like
1. Simple and powerful
2. Controls are so easy --
volume up - ctrl up arrow
volume down - ctrl down
seek - ctrl right and left

3. Visibility is good...
4. And it comes with default codecs. So i need not worry abt that too...


So.. i prefer and use VLC media player.

Apart from that i also use Windows media player and real media.
