what do you use to play your media?

[the flinger]

again, please respond, becuase if you dont ill ccry. and if its other please say what it is. and include some reasoning if you want to.

[robinbstard]

i play films on my DVD player on the tv.If you go to www.vcdhelp.com there is a step by step guide to converting anything to s/vcd.

[RipperRoo]

windows media player for movie files , winamp for audio .
btw , why bother converting to vcd , just get either a graphics card with a tv out , or a 21" monitor , then you wont need to waste cd's on vcd format

[robinbstard]

i lend the vcds to my mates who are not fortunate enough to have cable modem or a computer .i do have a card with tv out but its easier to have the discs to hand so the missus who has no idea about computers can watch them.HEHE ;D

[Barbarossa]

WinAmp for Audio
ThePlaya for DIVX's
WindowsMediaPlayer for MPEG and AVI clips
CyberDVD for DVD's

[the flinger]

the playa was what i meant by the divx player, by the way, and also vote for the one you use most often.

[CornerPocket]

PowerDVD 4 - movies
Windows Media Player - music

[VB]

MP3 -> winamp
movies -> windows media player
sometimes micro dvd player if I have subtitles

[the flinger]

thanks for all the replies, i personally use winamp for mp3, windows media player for movies, and sometimes divx player ffrom divx.com

[FuNkY CaPrIcOrN]

;) I can not believe he did not have WinAMP on there.

[Curley]

Lmao, looks like someones bored :lol:

[Infested Cats]

I voted "I know how to juggle" because I use 3 differernt programs, for different occasions.

AVI Preiview for previewing partially downloading flicks
MPC for little resourcing hogging
and BSPlayer, for the full experiance

[Kokanee]

WinAmp for Mp3's
AVI preview then WMP for Video

[Darth Sushi]

MediaPlayerClassic, ZoomPlayer, BS Player

[Dieselpower]

WinAmp 2.8 for Audio
Light Alloy for Video
CyberLink PowerDVD XP for DVD's and SVCD's

[Man U Supporter]

WMP for Audio. NVDVD for Video. Power dvd for playing dvd,s <_<

[amphoteric88]

removed

[[B][O][T]]

WinAmp for music
Windows Media Player for movies (mpg)

[summerlinda]

Music Match Juke Box and Winamp 2.9 for audio
BSplayer for movies

[swampy]

why is the sound quality in the kazaa media player so crappy? rock songs are absolutely unlistenable. btw i use windows media player for audio and video. :)

[Some_Geezer]

for what is worth...

For audio i use 1by1 Player, its a simple MP3 player that plays from the regestry, good if you have a shit load of MP3s you can get it from here http://www.rz.uni-frankfurt.de/~pesch/

For Video BS player and DVD its Power DVD

[dgmortal]

YYYYAAAAAYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! i can juggle :D

seriously though, i use j. river's media center 9 for music files, windows media player for video B)

[nueromancer]

Mainly WMP. However certain files only played on Vidomi Player which was not listed. If it works on WMP I use that, otherwise I use what works. (DivX, Vidomi and sometimes ATI)

[RealitY]

WinAmp 2.8 for audio
Avipreview to...
BSplayer for movies (great shorcut keys)
WMP on occasion.

[geothermal78]

I voted juggle also....

Sometimes one avi player will play a video upside down and the next one will play it right side up, so it is good to juggle.

Winamp 2.78 and 3.0 are working the best right now but RealOne Player sometimes works better on 3% of my files. I have the TFM audio filter running, so if a file works on none of the players then I start using that to get it to sound right. When I get quicktime movie previews online, then Quicktime player 6 pops up and works fine.

Windows Media Player seems to try to hijack my file preferences and I can't tolerate that for long. RealOne Player used to hijack all the time, but I seemed to have fixed that annoyance a few months ago. Sometimes forbidding a player to update ever is the only way to keep file preferences intact. Ugggg....

I used Divx player 1.0 for awhile on the Win2kPro system and it worked great, but then the hijacking happened and it stopped working. So I then got the XP system and I haven't had the need to use any player besides Winamp and the above. I also installed the Nimo Codec Pack awhile back and that might have worked well for my setup but a friend of mine could not get that pack to work well on their system. *shrug It's very dificult to isolate software issues if there is no error message. But it's fun to juggle as it teaches me what is going on inside the computer. *smile

[Shadowfire]

I chose other, since it really depends.

I use VLC Media Player for my videos and Foobar 2000 for my mp3s. And when I'm on the go, it's my iPod. =)

[lysine]

VLC & foobar. it's a lethal combo :)

[thesixthsensor]

Itunes? maybe...

[Corey]

I use BS Player 2 Pro.

[Shadowfire]

iTunes is the most bloated piece of software ever. I only use it for my iPod. I'm aware that there are other software that supports syncing to it, but I just don't really trust them.

Ha, you're quite right, Lysine.

[tho04]

[AlexV]

Windows Media Player Classic anyone? Bundled with a load of codecs, QuickTime Alternative and Real Alternative is all I need.

[petra1210]

Winamp and BS Player, sometimes VLC

[StriderZ]

Zoom player(general purpose), VLC(weird codecs), MediaPlayerClassic with RealAlt + QuickAlt. Plays everything :-D... The only thing annoying about VLC is that you can't precisely use the scrollbar to jump to time points with the default interface... But if you switch to a skinned interface... time scroll is smooth like most media players :-D

[MosheB]

MicroDVD is the best

[weenden]

i like vlc media also use musicmatch jukebox and media player classic

[shyheim]

VLC media player

[0ctane]

I use VLC Player plays everything you throw at it . including corrupt and incomplete files :)

[SinWithin]

Windows media plyer of course!
but somethime when i want to watch something with subtitels i use MWV2 player :D

[anak]

i use foobar/windows media combo. foobar for music, winmedia for movies.

I used to use VLC, but when I played my .flac files on my stereo. it always crashed when the bitrate went over 1mb/s.
Also there is more feedback on VLC.

and it just has an awkward GUI compared to foobar...
http://www.plusfourdb.com/images/hth/foobar2.gif
http://download.videolan.org/images/screenshots/vlc-win32.png
notice how on foobar it shows the bps at the bottom on the GUI and how foobar's playlist is part of the main GUI. with vlc you need to open up another window not shown in that picture.

[Colt Seevers]

Wow nice old thread :) :naughty:

Media player classic.

[mbfraser]

VLC for video.

Foobar for audio because it plays flac. And WinDV 8 for video because it plays everything. It even plays from folders so I can test my video authoring before I burn.
