My favorite is windows media player 6.4

but you just need a audio codec not a new player

I use media player 6.4 for everything. The Playa won't play like avi's and stuff so I just install the codec and use media player.

I got every codec lol, problem is on this one the audio will work for like 5 seconds when I fast forward to a scene, but then start skipping, then the same thing next time I skip, it won't ever play for more than 5 seconds even when I just let it go, so I figure I need more players! keep your favorites coming!

It doesnt sound like you need a new player, it sounds like you have a broken file. Find a repairer, not a new player.

What audio codec is it using? AC3 by any chance?

Do a search and grab the Nemo codec pack. That should solve your problem.

just downgraded to 6.4 from 7.1 on wmp worked, had nimo, with divx I have found it is good to have several different players on hand in case one can't be played on one of your other players. Thanks for your input!

I use WMP 6.4 also and it plays everything except Real Media and the newer .mov files.

sasami2k has all the bells and whistles. gdivx is the bare minimum if you're on a slow computer. windows media 6.4 is nice. i use wmp myself ... 7.0. i just hate it when it goes back to that ugly full mode and stuff. classic skin. =)

wmp plays things well but is a resource hog. my choice is Windvd although its pricey.
