What is your favorite video player?
I thought that it might be interesting to see what media players everyone favors for playing their anime. (Note that if you have more than one favorite you can list them all!) In case anyone doesn't recognize some of the choices I list their websites below. You can also consider this an opportunity to check out a new media player in case you aren't entirely happy with the one you have. All of these can be tried out for free so enjoy. I'm not listing RadLight because I am morally opposed to adware. If you have a favorite that I didn't include then please post it and I'll be glad to add it to the poll!
Ace Media Player AIW Player BS Player The Core Media Player Crystal Player DivX Player Media Player 6.4 (Start Menu -> Run, Type "mplayer2") Media Player Classic MplayerQuick Time RealOne Player Sasami2k VideoLan ViPlay Winamp Windows Media Player 9 Xine Zoom Player PS. Originally I thought that I was going to have to make some tough choices, but it turns out that moderators can make polls with more than 10 options! (That's why the last few items on the list aren't in alphabetical order.)

Definitely BSPlayer for videos, the ability to resize the video with my mouse wheel is priceless.
MPC comes second for videos, not as good as BSP, but still better than the rest. WinAmp 5 for audio..I love WA's skins and I love its functionality even more, it gave me no problems in the past and Im not going to change it. ^^ Edit: If I have to be picky, you missed DVD softwares like PowerDVD. Its widely used for DVDs playback. |

Also, downloading it will give you something to do while enjoying the explosions coming from the Naruto forum after the FFS hoax release. |

What are their homepages? (I don't feel like googling for them at the moment.) What OS do you use them on.

Mplayer: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/
Xine: http://xinehq.de/ They're ported to all UNIX clones (FreeBSD/NetBSD/Linux/OpenBSD/Unix) there are some builds of them to Win too, but they suck on windows (mplayer is by far the best player out there, period!). Also with mplayer you can watch movies via telnet or ssh coz it supports ascii output...you haven't seen anything until u have seen anime video in ascii Also mplayer can play .bin/.iso files without burning them ^_^ Try that on BSplayer Quote:

That was really annoying so I edited Forse's post. I'm sure that he's going to be really mad at me for that. Hopefully he'll get over it.
Incidently, I'm shocked that nobody besides me voted for The Core Media Player! It utterly r0x0rs j00! You can even tell it that your favorite audio is Japanese and favorite subtitles are English so that it will use those as the default choices when playing Ogg and Matroska. Aren't there any other Core Media Player fans? If you haven't used it, then please give it a try.

Im very happy with my feature ladden windows media player 9. It lets me skip forwards and backwards to any point in the video. It's also complete with volume control and a pause feature. Everything I need to enjoy anime!

Just a thought, but as i download videos sometimes its not the fault of the player its that the files are fragmented all over the hard drive.. Disk keeper is an excellent program for that, and that may be some of your problem.. Maybe not but its worth looking into.. there is nothing worse than a video being out of sync.. |
