I'm wondering what video player you people use, I normally use BSPlayer but since they implemented ad/spyware in their free version in looking for a new player, the only other good player I know is Windows Media which I don't really like.

WMP Classic normally.

[FirestarterCL]

Usually Winamp, but I use Media Player Classic once in a while. (when Winamp wont play something. )

i tryed to like BSPlayer i really did.

i myself use Windows media player Classic for virtually all video formats.
but for Dual-Audio OGM/MKV's i occasionaly use the Core Media Player.

for DVD's i use PowerDVD 6 Deluxe...not that i watch dvd's on the computer.

[Hawkeye]

Div-X player really....

[InsaneSith]

VLC Player.

There are no substitutes.

[Scar da Kookee]

VLC player. I agree with IS.

want a free DVD decoder. get VLC

[Blue Confusion]

Media Player Classic if I'm being lazy, VLC if I'm not and Real Player for those rmvb files that nothing else wants to play.

[tai]

Real Player for those rmvb files that nothing else wants to play.

you can use real alternative. then you can play real media files in virtually any player.

VLC and windows media classic, although for some reason I've found that it lags my system like crazy depending on which file I play (but other players i.e. WMP 9 or whatever don't). also my system is kind of old but it's not old enough (at least i don't think) that it just can't play movies period. any ideas why?

VLC Player.

I would use WMP but is so annoying, those top and bottom bars that shows everytime I touch anything, and the hotkeys suck >_<
Weee I like VLC, it has some bugs but is good, I'll have it as secondary player, I got rid of the adware manually and BSPlayer doesn't seem to care for now XD

@Spectre: dunno, maybe a codec problem? not all the players handles all the codecs in the same way. Try uninstalling all the codecs and install only the ones you need

C:\Windows\system32\rundll32.exe C:\Windows\system32\amovie.ocx,RunDll /play /close %1

As for music, Winamp 5 w/ modern skin. Native players for respective video formats (WMP for WMV unless I want to try using my always-open Winamp to play it, RealPlayer for RealVideo, QuickTime 7 Pro for MOV, PowerDVD for DVDs on the PC if at all).

[Eva]

VLC Player. Need I say more?

[Damatee]

Windows Media, Quicktime and Div-X are the ones i use

WMP and VLC are pretty standard for me, however I find zplayer does a good job of handling some of the obscure files nothing else seems to.
