Fullscreen Movie Player
You need WMP and QT installed. I strongly urge everyone to assign WMP6.4 to all video codecs and only use WMP 7, 8 & 9 for jukebox stuff and the like. WMP6.4 can open multiple movie simultaneously, conforms to compact Windows standards and simple shortcuts (ALT + Enter was only FINALLY brought back in WMP9), can repeat endlessly and doesn't have pauses between repeats of most formats. To get rid of Quicktime's nagging (Thnx TheWart), set your date forward (I set mine to 2010), launch QT and dismiss the "Pro" upgrade question, close it, change the date back and it shouldn't bother you for years!
Now, does anyone know of an alternative to Realplayer? I know WMP used to play older RM and MOV files, but legally they can't do so with the newer versions...
