:clap:Which is the best software for playing movies etc and supports max formats and codecs

 

[eventhorizon]

VLC Media Player is the best....plays almost any format imaginable...and no need for codecs.....everything is built in ....also available as portable application...

 

[bitspilani]

vlc better than gom ?

For Videos - VLC, Media player Classic Home Cinema, KM Player, GOM Player all these perform nearly same with wide variety of Codec/File format support (i.e. without needing to install any separate Codec Pack).

My favorite among the above is KM Player due to its extensively customizable options.

I actually like Media player classic ...Simply because it lets me use the fddshow audio filter/AC3 filter to amplify audio to high levels (much higher than VLC - I Have a laptop- Philips SHP 2000 headphone combination and for some reason I often need to do that with several of my downloaded files which have very low volumes.) .....

BTW, IMHO, theres is no such thing as a "best" media player....it's not the case of "one size fits all" ....so I guess you will have to try out a few and settle with what you like most

I use VLC player for playing video files. Very rarely(almost 0% chance) will you come across files which cannot be played by VLC.

VLC player and KM Player, plays almost all formats....

Media player classic is a good choice as well. If you have a codec pack installed. Otherwise, yes, nothing beats VLC.

windows media player 12 with klite codec pack installed is best as compared with km and vlc player.

 

[pranavreddy]

I always use VLC player. For HD movies i use DivX player

 

[aditya_reds]

KM Player.. its very lite & thats the main thing for me.. plays almost anything u can throw at it...

 

[PhotostarSR]

GOM Player FTW

 

[targetblimp]

Media player Classic Home Cinema is a great player...especially if you wanna watch HD content!

....in my opinion it also offers of a lot more customization than vlc.

i use Windows Media Player 11/12 with the Klite codec.

works for me!

 

[hammerhead]

WMP + Klite Codec pack is excellent.

 

[Rockfella]

VLC, Media player Classic Home Cinema, KM Player all are good, i prefer KMplayer because of its user friendly short-cuts.

Media player classic and vlc for videos and winamp for audios

 

[bitspilani]

but in vlc player when we try to forward/back lot of part of movie gets affected

 

[forum67]

KMPlayer

Does the HD content look different VLC vs MPC vs GOM vs KM...?
