Which is the Best Media [Video] Player?


Question

Hello People,

Until now I was using Media Player Classic and I am totally bored with it and looking for something better

first thing first I need a Video Player (I wouldn't mind if it could play Audio as a well in order to be used as a universal player) which is approtiate for me since I am an Anime-fan also I would like it to give the best graphics the video can show and also I can open mp4/ogm files.

I don't mind if the player is not freeware. If it is worth it I might as well buy it!

Why change when what you have is the best already? Also if the video quality isn't good, I doubt it's MPC problem. You might want to use MPC Home Cinema since MPC hasn't had any updates in long time. MPC-HC it's basically the same, just with a few extra features and some bugs fixed.

A lot of ppl use VLC, but i don't really like it, subtitles sometimes don't work properly for some reason.

Stick with MPC + ffdshow. That way you can use fast spp deblocking, which is the best post-processing that I know of. Oh and MPC/ffdshow are updated quite often, but they haven't bothered with doing official releases in a while so you just need to find the latest nightly CVS builds.

I would recomend GOM Player. Add a good codec pack (I use https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=...;f=12&id=11 Codec Pack)and you are ready to go.

- GOM Player

- Warez

I don't know why I'm starting to fall in love with VLC more and more, I was never really the kind of guy who watches movies on a PC but when I started doing so VLC was my first choice and its working out brillianty , I install it on virtually every PC that needs a DVD player and doesn't have one and I recommend it to everyone, It can play audio too but its minimalistic ofcourse geberally ... I guess that's why I like it

If you're looking for a good Audio alternative I suggest giving Songbird a look, its basically an open source media player with tabbed browsing and tons of add-ons while giving you a URL bar to gain direct access to the internet while listening to your tunes ... Its a bit buggy I think at the moment but for some reason It reminds me a lot of how Firefox started, It just seems yesterday that 2 was killing me with its slow load times and poor performance .. Take a look where FF 3 is now, Its brilliant and I think Songbird has the potential to come one, Might give it a look. Its certainly one of the more shiny Alternatives

VLC. That is all.

This is true. I actually use WiMP11 because VLC doesn't play nice with my PC for whatever reason, but in an ideal world I'd be using VLC. I love it for the fact that it skips all the stupid piracy warnings when you put a DVD in and goes straight to the menu :D

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
