How do u play HD video files on a PC,which player plays those files
and which codec is the best codec on vista 64 bit ?
i use KM media player and k lite pack
you could you use VLC media player (www.videolan.org/vlc/) or download Shark007's Win7Codecs(http://shark007.net/vistacodecpackage.html) to play the file with Windows Media Player. I prefer the latter though :)

ALLPlayer (Acceptable Player)
It seems to load all CCCP filters fine, but is a mess of half translated strings, weird file installation and nonsensical 'features' (would you like to slow down the display of your external .srt files?) means this player gets a 'Acceptable Player' report. It's also ugly. Nearly sinfully ugly.

ALShow (Bad/Evil)
Refuses to use VSFilter even when it's internal caption filter is turned off. Have to autoload VSFilter for softsubs to display. Only allows usage of overlay mixer and no other renderers. Prioritizes mpeg layer 3 decoder for mp3 over ffdshow. Refuses to use Haali's splitter to split mp4's and doesn't have an internal splitter. Uses an internal Ogg splitter instead of Haali's splitter. Couple all of that with an ugly looking player and you get a Bad/Evil.
BSPlayer (Bad/Evil)
BSPlayer has an almost uncountable number of bugs in it, the short answer is that almost all playback is broken, the long answer, including the (rather long) way to get it working, is here.

Coreplayer (Acceptable Player)
Another standalone player, this one brought to you by the CoreCodec group. Currently only supports using internal filters, and it lacks a subtitle renderer, AND it has almost no options. Not currently recommended.

Crystal Player (Acceptable Player)
In our tests, CCCP staff have been unable to get it to load VSFilter at all. It has several internal filters / splitters that the details of which are unknown, and a bunch of suspicious built-in postprocessing modes. Additionally, we suspect that it forces one of the VMR modes and doesn't allow the Overlay Mixer to be used. Suggestion is not to use it.

DivX Player 6.3 (Acceptable Player)
Only the newest version of the DivX Player is slightly more compatible with the CCCP, enough to now be called partially at least. You should be able to play most MKV, OGM, and MP4 releases in the DivX Player without issues. Tested as far as working softsubs and switching audio/sub tracks. However it still seems to not fully be a DirectShow player, whereas almost every other Windows player is. You cannot do simple things like play audio files, or files which it thinks are not media but you may in fact have DirectShow filters for. So long as the player thinks the file has video though it will play it. Ogg Theora worked for example, but Ogg Vorbis did not. Still extremely not recommended for use.

Drastic Preview (Bad/Evil)
DO NOT INSTALL THIS. It changed all my image and audio formats to type 'drasticpreview', which removes their icons, replacing them with the default windows .dll icon. Uninstalling did not fix it.
FFPlayer (Bad/Evil)
Doesn't work with vsfilter (crashes out if you set haali's to autoload). Defaults to VMR9 RGB output, doesn't support Haali's renderer, strange keymapping. Don't bother.
GOM Player (Bad/Evil)
GOM can open the four main video formats (avi, ogm, mp4, mkv) as well as windows media and real formats. Installs its own codecs by default - this is easily disabled, bar the splitters. If the inbuilt codecs are disabled, direct show works like a charm. Unfortunately, the included splitters are on the bad side of terrible. ASSA subtitles display unstyled. Lack of Haali loading is the downfall of this player – will only work (without some serious tweaking) with hardsubbed files. Not compatible with CoreAVC in a default install with inbuilt codecs disabled.
Homepage: http://www.gomplayer.com/
JetAudio Player (Acceptable Player)
Works fine as long as you let it use it's own subtitle filter, it doesnt seem to load the subtitle filter included with the CCCP. The output mode is set to 'system default' instead of 'overlay mixer' too which can cause troubles.
J. River Media Center (???)
J. River Media Center is a player which one of their staff added to this page. I'm mentioning this because they added no pertinent information about how well it works apart from a link to this DirectShow Playback Guide -- which seems very useful. Most of it applies to any DirectShow capable player, and is an interesting read. The page mentions something about our included FLV splitter failing on YouTube videos, but I haven't noticed this at least.

The KMPlayer (Acceptable Player)
Attempts to use its own internal filters for everything. With this, it seems to work somewhat, but fails on several things like advanced subtitle effects (styles, positioning, etc), seeking with asf/wmv files (can cause blocking), mkv splitting in several cases (when it plays with three video windows it is quite spectacular though), and probably a lot more.
Also various evil components were sigted within the program directory, which may or may not cause huge drama, though seemingly they will only get used at user preference, except for some outdated and slightly broken Gabest filters on which this player seems to rely a lot.
Furthermore, it has a tendency to load random files starting with "a" from the same directory if you open "a.mkv" for example, which can result in some rather funny scenarios too (unless you manually turn off the loading of any additional files completely).
All in all, it tries quite hard for the components it uses, but that still doesn't make it a working solution in its default setup.
You need to change a whole lot of settings to make it actually ignore the internal stuff and just use the default DirectShow filters, along with several settings for playback to work properly in general (like aspect ratio), but it seems to work mostly fine after that.
Using Haali's renderer seemed to cause some rather weird issues (multiple graphs loaded at the same time) in this player.
Audio normalization is also enabled by default, which may or may not cause rather funny sounds to come out, users are free to experiment with it for themselves.
Switching video renderer during playback causes it to rebuild the graph (necessary), seek back to about the same time where it left off, and continue playing (even if it was paused before). The main thing it misses is changing back to the correct tracks too.
Also when using external filters it doesn't seem to have a menu or keys explicitly for changing tracks, so you will have to poke that Haali icon manually or the Filters menu entry for it.
Trying to install without all the included stuff will result in a neat Korean interface. Language files seem to be hidden under "KMPlayer Extender File" (description says "Files for video/audio effects."), which also gives you a near 15 MB bonus in install size.
Light Alloy Player (Acceptable Player)
We haven't had much experience with this yet, but as far as preliminary tests go, it doesn't seem broken in any important area, with the exception that it loads and unloads lots of DirectShow filters on playback start, behavior similar to BSPlayer with "Advanced Graph Building". More testing is needed before we can give it a "Compatible" rating.

Media Player Classic (Good Player)
This is the now-abandoned progenitor of MPC-HC, described below. It looks almost identical but is no longer updated and not no longer recommended.
Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli/
Media Player Classic Home Cinema (Included with CCCP)
***Included with CCCP***
A continuation of the MPC project. The single included player with the CCCP, the included version should work flawlessly.
See Media Player Classic Home Cinema for more info.
Homepage: http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/
MPlayer (Good Player)
NOTE: MPlayer uses internal files to playback video files! It does not make use of the CCCP in any way! In any case, MPlayer is probably the best of the unincluded with CCCP players. The available versions on the pages listed below should play back most files - nowadays (1.0RC1 and later) it even supports styled subtitles. Not much to say about it really, it can do almost everything the CCCP can, plus a lot of other things the CCCP can't. The only real problem is that it's rather obscure and not really user-friendly.
Homepage: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/
See also the CCCP build of MPlayer: http://www.cccp-project.net/smf/index.php?topic=811.0
QuickTime (Bad/Evil)
QuickTime will not play back any avi/ogm/mkv files. It will play back a limited selection of mp4 and 3gp files, namely those with either baseline or main profile AVC, or simple profile MPEG-4 video. It also includes support for AAC audio.
Homepage: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
RadLight 4 (Bad/Evil)
Includes it's own graph building/filter selection technology which appears to be Bad/Evil with the CCCP for all but the most basic files. Appears to include support only for AVI and MKV. Movies with subtitles do not load. Possibly fixable with intense work.
Homepage: http://www.radlight.net/
RealPlayer 10 (Bad/Evil)
Appears to load the CCCP perfectly for AVI flies, but will not play back OGM/MKV files. MP4 playback is unknown, but it is expected that there would be no troubles.
Homepage: http://www.real.com/
The Core Media Player (TCMP) (Acceptable Player)
Should work if you do not install the filters that come with it (older alternatives to the CCCP filters). If you have installed a copy with filters, uninstall it, re-register the CCCP filters using the CCCP settings manager, and finally reinstall TCMP without any of the included filters. Also note that its built-in subtitle / audio track switching buttons won't work.
Homepage: http://www.tcmp.org/
VLC media player (Bad/Evil)
NOTE: VLC uses internal files to playback video files! It does not make use of the CCCP in any way even if you enable "Use System Codecs"!
VLC is weird or evil in many ways. We recommend avoiding it and its strange conventions/capabilities.
Homepage: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
ViPlay (2) (Acceptable Player)
Seems ok, but does not catch the correct AR in anamorphic videos. Make sure you do not install any of the filters it asks you to on install, they will probably do evil things and are untested by us.
ViPlay 3 (Acceptable Player)
Appears to play files without trouble, as long as the graph building style is changed from ViPlay's to Microsoft's.
Homepage: http://www.urusoft.net/home.php?lang=1
Winamp 5 (Acceptable Player)
Will play most files with a moderate amount of tweaking. Requires manual loading of subtitles filter for subtitles, but uses Haali splitter/ffdshow correctly.
Homepage: http://www.winamp.com/
Windows Media Player 10 (Acceptable Player)
Will play back most files with no problems, but seems to bork on some for unknown reasons. Some anamorphic video are played at the wrong resolution.
Windows Media Player 11 (Acceptable Player)
Likely to have slightly less issues then WMP10, however some problems are still prevalent. In particular, the AR is detected wrongly (ie, not at all) in some MKV files.
Xenorate Media Player (Acceptable Player)
Should be installed without codecs. The only thing it does install currently is VSFilter. A few minor issues: VSFilter is always loaded during any playback, and VSFilter is always set to 'Hide Subtitles' on loading. You must manually click on the VobSub icon in system tray and select 'Show Subtitles' for anything with subtitles. It also has an internal DVD Filtergraph Script, which you will need to manually switch to the CCCP Profile. Finally the player seems to have internal audio downmixing/upmixing options, which may need to be changed depending on your speaker setup. Otherwise, should work with all Included with CCCP formats in the CCCP.
Homepage: http://www.xenorate.com/
Zoom Player (Acceptable Player)
The Standard version that was included in CCCP is free for non-commercial use, but was discontinued by Inmatrix with the release of Zoom Player v6. Currently there's no free version of Zoom Player available, and no plans to release one, nor plans for a maintenance release of v5 standard edition, despite reported instability under Windows Vista SP1.
This player used to be included in earlier releases of CCCP and with versions of Windows prior to Vista achieved good results and no playback problems. It is not known if the commercial versions now available will achieve the same results.
Homepage: http://www.inmatrix.com/zplayer/
SubEdit-Player (Acceptable Player)
DirectShow based player with build in subtitle editor. Seems to be working fine with CCCP. Has multiple monitor support and nice subtitle display options when using internal sub display.
Homepage: http://matinf.pcz.pl/~subedit/english/information.html
Mac OS
See CCCP on Mac OS X.
Linux
MPlayer (Good Player)
Probably the best of the non-included players for *nix systems.
Homepage: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/
MPlayer for MacOS: Supported OSs - MacOS
VLC media player (Bad/Evil)
VLC is weird or evil in many ways. We recommend avoiding it and its strange conventions/capabilities.
