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

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
