Is media player 11 any good?

 

[potato28]

Its an improvement over most of the past 1's (excluding 6.4), but you should have MPC ready just for the DVD's.

 

[ingeborgdot]

Could you explain MPC? Thanks.

Media Player Classic, or better known as Windows Media Player 6.4(formerly). Works great with DVD's and such.

WMP 11 is very good - and it is now out of Beta.

 

[wanderer27]

My Stepson tried it and didn't like it. Don't remember why exactly - I seem to recall it's supposedly pretty heavy handed in the DRM department though.

The beta's were shaky for me...but the final release is well done

It's been awesome. I use it as my primary media player. It's kinda nice because I suggested some features during the development and they actually listened to me.

I've rolled back to WMP10 because volume leveling is broken in version 11.

11 is awesome! I use it as my primary player, and mpc as backup. it has a very easy, nicelookin interface, loads quickly, and spacebar is back

Yea.
WMP11 is the best WMP to date.

Now I use WMP11 for stuff like music and some video, but for DVD's and mkv's and ogm's, and such I use Media Player Classic.

All you really need is this:
http://www.cccp-project.net/

Comes with all the codecs, MPC, ffdshow, and everything else you need.
One stop shop.

Its awesome.

Enlighten me on this comment please? Thanks.

 

[ingeborgdot]

I am hearing about MPC. I have never used it. What is the reasoning for using it? Where would I get it? Would anyone be so kind to explain it to me? Thanks.

What is the cccp stuff? Would you be so kind as to explain it to an ignorant fool like me? Thanks.

Why do people love 6.4 so much? I never understood that.

And WMP11 corrected the one complaint I had with 10, the jerk in the video when in full screen mode & have the controls display or hide.

Pretty heavy in not letting users strip DRM out of protected files?

I use vlc as my primary player and wmp 11 as a backup lol. I've never seen any player like vlc before in my life. Unfortuneatly, i still have to have realplayer for rm files and such . Real is pretty ghey

You shouldn't need Real Player anymore. I uninstall that system hog from friends and family computers that have gotten sluggish (after removing spyware, etc.).
