What?s your favorite media player?

[Renob]

It seems like when I install some of the DivX players they don?t work very well, or cause my Win Media Player to start having problems. I know sounds like user error.

Is there a way do update Windows Media Player to play DivX?

Or maybe some other that will do it all?

What do you use and why?

Thanks guys for any help/info.

BSPlayer combined with FFDShow for most every video file type.

WMP has no problem playing DiVX as long as you install the software from DiVX.com
I don't need any other players, but WMP 9 sucks. I use the version 6.4 sometimes.

That's the way I have it setup on my rig as well, except I use WMP v. 8.00

WMP for WMA, Winamp3 for MP3, PowerDVD for DVD movies, musicmatch 7 for ripping.

everyone here who use wmp6.4 please try media player classic, you will not regret it

My favorite media play is PowerDVD, but I don?t use it to play Divx/Xvid.

Just download the codecs and use WMP.

Another really good media player is Sasami2k.

 

[eplebnista]

WMP

 

[ProviaFan]

Windows Media Player 9 sucks, but so does Winamp 3. Right now I'm using WMP9.

 

[NokiaDude]

ATI File player. If not that then PowerDVD 4.0. But for some reason PowerDVD will not play DVD's no matter what, but when I fire up ATI DVD player it plays perfectly.

Just make sure you have allt he current codecs and there shouldn't be a problem.
EDIT:
I use the regular alpha DivX player from their website.

zoom player...will play anything out there..and no extra mess to deal with, just a nice simple interface

 

[Ronstang]

ZoomPlayer is by far the best media player if you are talking about Divx/Mpeg/DVD. It has a great interface that is more customizable than any other player I have tried. It is designed to be the easiet to use with a TV-out (and most customizable for this also) and this is a big draw for me since I made a headless box w/remote I use as a Divx/DVD Player.
