I prefer MPC, since it works really nicely with CCCP and never had any problems with it. Also I'm usually not too fussy about the GUI, but then when I get sick of its simplicity I just fire up TCMP. Sometimes I use MPlayer as well, but that's more like for testing purposes, which brings me to VLC...just to see how badly it copes with softsubs. :P

Example: There are 47 votes total at the time of this screencap (you can count them yourself). To find the percentage of people who voted for MPC, you take the votes for MPC (15) and divide by the total (47) and multiply by 100. Answer is 31.91%. Not 50%. Are all poll counts screwy, or just because this one was reset? Either that or I've already lost all sanity n_n. |

At first, I must say that I did wonder about that when you brought it up. However, I understand more as to why the percentages don't add up. Just as you noted, in your example in which all the numbers are being divided by 30 is because 30 people voted.
The percentage is a percentage of the number of people who voted for that player out of the number of people who voted. Suppose for example, everyone voted for MPC, and some had multiple votes in other areas. If one were to divide the number of people that voted for MPC by the number of people that voted in total, it would show that everyone that participated in the poll acknowledged that they all use MPC. If it were to divide the number of people that voted for MPC by the number of votes total (as in the summation of all player votes), it would seem like only a portion of the population that voted uses MPC (which would not be true). So, the results aren't messed up. It just appears odd due to the capability of voting for multiple players. |

On the subject of percentages, any time there are multiple responses to a survey question you can calculate two different percentages. One is the percentage of respondents who gave a particular answer; that's the figure reported on the site. Nicholi's approach calculates the percentage of responses falling into a given category. That's also a valid approach in some situations, but it doesn't tell us the proportion of people using a particular player.

I still use the freeware BSplayer (which is available aswell)...There are 2 versions I use (They came after version 1 and before adware version)...one is white and the oither is blue...Since I reinstalled XP on my comp about a 4 months ago I've had pretty miuch no probs at all playing anything in BS...Since I don't use BS adware I don't know how much it sucks...But freeware still gets the job done...I can see why people moved on I guess but BS just has some simplistic and cool qualities that I enjoy more than those other guys combined...and since I can play low-sized fansubs in DivX using it's own filters I have the best of both worlds for what I like...I also didn't want to use CCCP (It took me like a year before I finally gave in) because it feels like I'm installing psuedo-Microsoft in the way ffdshow takes over...CCCP feels almost corporate to me, like they are just one or two improvements a way from selling that $hit to Bill Gates...but if I wanted to play mp4 and non-divx h264 with no probs I had to get it...For whatever reason it now works with BS player with no glitches for me...Only super high quality HD episodes (like One Piece) or movies give me probs since my comp performance isn't all that (Only Zoom for some ungodly reason can decently play it if I make it high priority in Task manager)... Anyways tell me more about this plugin...I believe I had it before...In any event I want to try it out if it's "superior".... P.S. for that nameless cur..."Can we say coward?"

I voted for MPC and WMP, because I use them both. I was using mostly just WMP, till the last Manabe Straight episode convinced me to install VSFilter, instead of using the subtitling in FFDShow (which worked fine for Bartender and Pumpkin Scissors).
After installing VSFilter, WMP doesn't use the VMR renderer anymore with subtitled MKV files, and the video renderer it does use (called "video renderer", in the filter lists of Vobsub and FFDShow) acts screwy, in a way I can't describe with words. It's like the Horizontal doesn't want hit the same start point for each scanline, but wanders back and forth by 3 or 4 pixels, creating a wavy, fuzzy effect. I can still use WMP 11 with non-subtitled mkv files and all AVI/MPG/MP4 formats. Anyhow, I use both players, so I voted for both players. |

QuickTime does have some support for h.264, but I suppose you could consider it incomplete.
For example, profiles. QuickTime does not support high profile. Main or baseline need to be used (but using baseline is just stupid). The necessity of main profile disables the availability to use certain options, eg. adaptive DCT, I8x8 macroblocking, etc. Additionally, from what I read, QuickTime does not work well with more than 1 B-frame. I believe I had tested this claim early on to find that playback is slowed noticeably enough with even 2 B-frames. |

Ahh I had no idea you could also vote for multiple players as well. Multiple options to me does not immediately mean you can have multiple votes. How does one cast the 2nd vote? Or is that only done when you make the first, I must have totally missed it.
I'd also forgotten people still think they need to have multiple players. Instead of using just one that works n_n. |

Here's the Enhancer Winamp DSP plugin. It is skinnable.
I was originally going to switch to Zoomplayer because Zoomplayer also supports Winamp DSP plugins. BSplayer was working fine for me and Zoomplayer was going to require some hacking through the settings, so I ended up staying with BSplayer. I also don't think there's anything wrong with having multiple players, especially if you go through a lot of media files. You can't anticipate running into an issue with the player that you're using.

I only voted for MPC, since it's my mainstream video player. |

MPC, because it's rock-solid and I've used it for years, although if I had to start over again, I'd probably pick The KMPlayer (the one based out of Korea for Windows, not the Linux player of the same name.) The configurability of it is absolutely astounding, and just overall it is a slick, well-done player. I'm always surprised it is not more popular than it is among the viewing community.

BS player for me... hacked for fun, its skins kick major A(dollar signs)!!, the new zoomplayer does contain internal codecs or rather makes you download them, and mpc for everything mkv or ogm... and dont forget BS has that desktop playback dont know any other player that does that. its the only way to view videos in fullscreen and multi-task without having to come out of fullscreen... well with the taskbar, but that can be made to hidden tho' cant it? dont remember about irregular resolutions outside of 4:3 though.
