Title: Video Players?
Post by: topdownjimmy on 2005-02-26 16:38:32
Wondering if anyone has any video player recommendations.  I've just started using Media Player Classic, but something with a playlist and automatic codec downloading would be nice.  Sorry if this is too off-topic.  Should there be an Off-Topic subforum?

I also use MPC as video player, don't use anything else. You could take a look at Mplayer or Videolan or Core Media Player. Maybe Zoom player. But don't know if they have auto-download codecs...

You are so right.  I just started using it recently and hadn't discovered that yet.  Thanks.

You should also try vlc, it's one of the best player out there in my opinion

MPC is my first recommendation and VLC would be my second. ffdshow-alpha is grat for handling video codecs and such - I use it with MPC. VLC comes with its own libraries so you don't need ffdshow, though I like ffdshow's post processing a bit better (one of the many reasons I use ffdshow with MPC for my vid stuff).

If, for some reason, you are not sure what codec a certain video uses, you can identify it with a prog called GSpot.

@topdownjimmy:
This topic (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=31485) might help you 
It will be boring if you use a dshow-base player without ffdshow (http://ffdshow.sourceforge.net/tikiwiki/), but you need alot of parser, splitter to get them work...
MPlayer (http://mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/news.html) also is a great player,
although compile the binary it's a bit painful...
