Media players - once again Just wonder - are everybody here free of problems with media players - playing/viewing videos - of all kinds. Tried to skip VLC - it works lousy with "fast forward" with WMV-files and are quite slow at startup. The same goes for Crystal Player - it cannot do fast forward before ending download of the file. But ok, fast at startup and excellent with avi-files. Tried the old version of WMP (thanks, jd), but it crashed my monitor/graphic driver a couple of times. Even after updating that special driver. So I skipped that one too, alas. Now I've found a new player: GOM Player - has used it for a couple of days - and it works great - and easy to handle - and FREE... Anybody got some experience with this player??? "I don't drink anymore - I freeze it, and eat it like a popcicle" Edited on Jul 23, 2009, 08:43am | |

Denner, this is a great topic I'd really be interested in, but I need a "Media Players for Dummies" book to understand your info. Is there a site or other source that could give basic info to those of us less adept at tech stuff? Jay G | |

Hey Jay G Sorry - it took some time to get back: Sorry, I do not have a MP for Dummies - I'm bit of a one myself. My main problem is finding good and reliable mediaplayers that: Do not cause delays on startup - that do not cause delays in fast forward - and do not crash my system...AND is very simple to use - and do not have too ugly/disturbing skins. jd1961 has the perfect solution in the old WMP - but, alas - it crashed my Windows - still do not know why. So for me- too - this is still - an unsolved problem: Which player is the best, the most reliable, the fastest, the most easy to use and so on.... SO: I hope some of our fellow PUs with better knowledge, than us will come forward... "I don't drink anymore - I freeze it, and eat it like a popcicle" | |

Wish I could help, but I've not been brave enough to try anything other than WMP, QT, and DivX -- the standard fare. Interesting topic, though. What I found out is that it will play the above formats and more, of course, plus streaming vids. It's most popular in South Korea, where the streaming ability is what really counts. (They have better bandwidth than we do in the States, I think.) I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

I use Windows Media Player or my Quicktime Player as my first choices, then use VLC if I'm having problems with a file, for some reason - especially if I have a file that isn't playing the audio, VLC is almost always the solution. Then I have a flash player if I get a file where I need that. | |

I too find VLC player annoying for fast forward as it takes ages to shift scenes, but I do find it works with some that GOM player doesn't and I also have now got into using Media Player Classic, its great for opening quicktime and realplayer files too and insn't as slick and smooth as gom player but I use all three my fav being gom though as its very good as fast forwarding.

Denner, have you ever tried the 'DivX Player' from www.divx.com? I remember it being able to play not only divx files but all the others and did them quite well on my older computer. However, I don't use it now so I'm not sure how well it is. But, it is a free download and maybe worth a try? Let me know if you do and how well it is. Sexted From My iPad | |

I think I've officially tried every media player on the internet, having just tried a highly praised one, The KMPlayer. I still prefer VLC, I could be getting stubborn at this point! The KMPlayer is nice though. It even has the onscreen A-B repeat command so you can click A at the best part of the movie and B at the end of the best part, so it only plays that part. It is kind of like having Videobox's scene editor built into your media player. It played every file I could throw at it including the very few .flv files I have, .avi, .mpg, .wmv, all played perfectly. It also looks nicer than most players with a classic all-black skin built in. Probably the best feature for me was the way it played full screen, it has stretch, so there is no box outlines around the movie, full on-screen menu, fast forward, play, rewind, built right into the full screen version. I have had problems with VLC on this in the past since it wouldn't show the menu options in full screen without tinkering with it. Maybe you could try it out Denner. From looking at my task manager it used about the same resources from my PC to start up as VLC did, much, much faster than WMP. My first time I jacked off, I thought I'd invented it. I looked down at my sloppy handful of junk and thought, This is going to make me rich. - Chuck Palahniuk | |

It seems like I'm always on the hunt for good media-players (like on-the-hunt for good porn) - will try out the KMPlayer - right now I'm getting used to my new GOM Player, Crystal Player and - of course the fine VLC - which you always can rely on. It's also a matter of taste about "skins" - like you point out, exotics4me - the Microsoft WMP - I do not like - even if you alter the skin. When viewing videos the software is so damn importend, because problems here can ruin the joy. "I don't drink anymore - I freeze it, and eat it like a popcicle" | |
