Whats your favorite and why? I used to use vlc for the longest time but I started getting all sorts of errors. Reinstalled completely a couple of times then gave up and moved onto media player classic. If you wanna suggest one that would be cool.

How about Windows Media Player 11?  I use Media Player Classic for quicktime because I really hate quicktime, and VLC for assorted other items.  But I prefer WMP 11 over every other player I've tried because it's actually effective at making and maintaining libraries.

Yea i dunno back when windows media player was just starting i didnt really care for it. So i havent bother trying it recently. Added as well as quicktime. What does everyone think?

XINE

"xine is a free multimedia player. It plays back CDs, DVDs, and VCDs. It also decodes multimedia files like AVI, MOV, WMV, and MP3 from local disk drives, and displays multimedia streamed over the Internet. It interprets many of the most common multimedia formats available – and some of the most uncommon formats, too."

KMPlayer seems to handle all types of files, more than any other player I have used.  The only other player that comes close is the VLC.  The only reason I didn't vote for the VLC is the KMPlayer is not only prettier, but a lot more of KMPlayers default settings are closer to what I am looking for. (one who has a dual display with a big screen tv)

If you are one who makes frequent use of non-main stream video files such as ".MKV and .OGM", one of these two players are ideal for you.

VLC has always annoyed me for some undefinable reason. SMPlayer is the best MPlayer front-end I've found, and it works identically on both Windows & Linux, which is important to me.

I use WMP11 for most thing day to day. It works fine, handles libraries and I don't have to mess with it. I use media player classic to play dvds.

I'm with you on VLC. It just doesn't feel 'right' but I can't really define where it's 'wrong'.

I use WMP11 for mkv and ogm files.

I go back and forth between VLC and Media Player Classic on Windows.

Been trying to expand my blind faith in Microsoft lately, but I'm easing into it... 

[Kevin Freeheart]

I use VLC on Windows. I prefer Totem on Linux.

I'm in KDE land right now though, and Dragon Player works too. I just wanna play my damn videos, and pause when I need to piss. I don't need any other features.
