I love BSPlayer-- it has a lot of extra featrues that most of the others don't. I love using the capture picture option, and the subtitle capabilities are very useful!

windows media player 9 series...its kinda heavy..but i've been seeing a great improvement over the years Laugh

)...nah its alright..its really choppy for me for some reason..i only use it when i am desperate..like when i play those ogm files..and other wacky files that i can't remember... Crazy

Although BSpalyer is more reliable then Window Media 9.
I Like WM9 best bcus of the extra functions and looks
more professional. BS looks kinda cheap.....

Using BSplayer as my primary player - and WM9 as secondary(rarely used)

I like WMC 'cause it plays everything I need & size so small. None of that fancy, bulky stuff I don't need anyway.

bs player > wm classic > vlc for anything else (it seems to play any file that other players won't..)

Any player can play any file with the right codecs.

I'm on Windows XP with SP2 using WM9 with FFDshow v2004.08.08, XviD v1.01, and DivX v5.2 installed in that order and FFDshow not decoding XviD.
All the latest version is recommended.

Plays every .avi and .mpeg-1smoothly with no problems.
If .mpeg-2, which is SVCD, I'll use InterVideo's WinDVD v6.
If .mkv, I'll use Windows Media Classic with the Matroska Pack installed.

i agree w/ aznkoodies. i use wm9 and i have no problems playing every file that i have downloaded. i really think it has more to do w/ the codecs than with the player. i also think a graphics card and your system's memory are bigger factors to playing files than the player is.

As jholic say

...a graphics card and your system's memory are bigger factors to playing files than the player is.....

for someone who still use win98 inside a 400mhz Crazy

(me)
window media player doesnt go futher than the wm7 version Crying

until I get a new pc or something
BsPlayer still my main media player and my savior fo all the drama that have been brought up through d-Addicts

so long live to BsPlayer........(until a new pc is bought my point of view may change Mr. Green

)

How do i load softsubs on the VLC player?

.dmg is the extension of disk image for Mac OS X. It is a super compressed file that can contain folders or images of cds or dvds that can be burned or virtually mounted.

Mac players that I like are MplayerOSX, I'm not sure if it is similar to the linux version. It plays well, nice subtitle fonts for the softsubs, has a nice fast forward/backward and it is easy to load the subtitle onto the video file, no need to rename anything.

VLC is good, and it will play most anything too.

There are times when people will encode with WMV formats that are proprietary or not ported to the Mac. Then I cannot watch it on my nice powerbook and have to switch over.

My fave is probably BS player. VLC comes very close though. The only con about vlc is that the subtitles are unstable. That is my only problem with it. Other than that I love how it plays everything. My third choice is wmc.

Bsplayer is by far the best... as long as u dl the codec.. VLC is good but it can't play partially dl'ded files.. but it has 98% of the codecs..

Mplayer is really good, though some errors occur.
