Best media player around

If you install the "Real Alternative Codec" you can play Real media files on any player you want. Which is great cause RealPlayer sucks big time!

As it is known to call home, ( unless you want to have spys all the time),
remove Realplayer.
And install
realalt122.exe ( See above for Copi's post)
It will install Windows Media Player Classic, from which you
can play RM, RMVB files.

Also install realmediasplitter_20040125
With the above installed, and the use of TMPGEnc (version
2.53.35.130), you can convert RMVB to VCD or SVCD mpg.
Then, suddenly RMVB is no longer an orphan format.

TMPGEnc fails to decode RMVB audio in conversion if you
do not use TMPGEnc v2.53.35.130. Later version pretends
it decodes and you find out later that there is no sound in mpg.

Bsplayer for me, especially with movies requiring subs and it integrates well with the AC3 stuff.
It's so easy to manipulate the subs, resizing, sync and moving you just need CTRL arrows.
The interface of Bsplayer beats VLC hands down.

I voted for BS player. It's hands down the best out of all of them. Except recently it seems to skip around and miss some subtitles. Unsure

bsplayer is pretty good, but I still use the old msplayer to play non sub files.
How about Divx player? It is not too bad is it?

Having tried several players, bsplayer is the best so far. wmp takes too much resources and don't like the border, it takes too many space and changing skins there's a button so no good. Videolan can play any files also incomplete mpg, but when skipping back or forward is too slow en don't like interface. And real/quicktime alternative's are no good. It doesn't play all rm/quicktime files. So better use the pro versions of realmedia and quicktime. Bsplayer has a simple/functional design and especially combined with the maclight skin it's the best.

I use Zoom Player most of the time. Also use Media Player Classic for corrupted avi files and for radio streams.

Divx player sucks the last the time I tried it. Only plays divx files.
