As far as continuously developed video players, I recommend MPC-BE here (get latest 1.5.2 release):

Or MPC-HC, now only occasionally updated but still killer:

The famous Potplayer is excellent but the options approach "quicksand" complexity. VLC Media Player, also excellent but cannot use the top-notch madVR renderer unlike the others. This topic should be moved to the Misc./Off-Topic forum if you want to continue to discuss video players.
