Mocht4R Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I need an all format media player, or in this case, the best media player for my pc. I am currently using realplayer, but im not too happy about its performance. I'm not sure if winamp plays all formats, and i hate windows media player. So whats your opinion?

DigeratiPrime Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 well VLC should play everything, but it doesnt always do the best job at it and has a poor gui and options. I use Media Player Classic with FFDshow, Quicktime + Real Alternative, and Conroes Directshow filterpack for all video and then XMPlay for all audio.

KevinMo Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Excuse me, how to use VLC play real format video/audio?I love VLC too, but can't use it play *.rm really bothers me. I've searched about this topic, but it seems VLC doesn't support realmedia yet and they never planed to support it either.PS:If VLC doesn't work, I use mplayer.If mplayer doesn't work, I fallback to mplayerc + k-lite mega codec pack.

Jeremy Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I tried VLC player once and hated it. My setup is the same as DigeratiPrime's and I've had it that way for a long time. I haven't found a clip/movie I couldn't play yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eidenk Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I need an all format media player, or in this case, the best media player for my pc. I am currently using realplayer, but im not too happy about its performance. I'm not sure if winamp plays all formats, and i hate windows media player. So whats your opinion?Winamp won't play realmedia proper I think. My advice is to leave Real Player in place, install the realmedia splitter for DirectShow and then use any DS based player to view your files. There are tons of them. Some of the best (and free) are Media Player Classic and BSPlayer IMO. The latest I have discovered and that is very good is KMPlayer. You might want to try it as it includes several (many) splitters, including the realmedia and Quicktime ones, it can use in internal mode apparently without registering them to the system.http://www.kmplayer.com/down/kmp.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberloner Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 i vote for mpc + k-lite mega codec pack with all real player and quicktime plugin...it plays almost all video online... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Broke_My_MHZ Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I have to use Realplayer alternative along with VLC. The makers of VLC aren't allowed to include the codec in their player because Real wants people to use their crappy player to view .rm movies.
