What's your preferred player for .ogm files?

I used to use 'The Core Media Player' just because I found it on google, but I can't stand it. It's so buggy. Most of the time, basic functions don't work. It's forcefully taken over almost all my video extensions, even after I change them back. It's just a terrible, terrible program. I'm just going to uninstall it and deal with not being able to watch until I find something else. What do you all use?

I use VLC for all video playback, including ogm

i used bs player and sometimes Media Player Classic but i am not a fan of Media Player Classic Anyways i use K-Lite Codec Pack which has ogg codec + MKV which are mostly used in video with dual audio.

But i have used VLC but i didn't like it. I highly recommend BS player or Media classic player

but i love bs player to death : ) http://www.bsplayer.com/

I would use Media Player Classic.

It's not a bad idea to keep several popular players installed so that you can handle pretty much anything. My preferences in descending order:
- BS Player: Despite the name it really is a "No Bull" player -- intuitive interface, no-nonsense, informative front panel
- Media Player Classic: Neat interface, but not quite as intuitive as BSP
- VLC: Last resort for stubborn media files

I load them into virtualdubmod, convert the audio stream to mp3 and turn the whole mess into a normal avi. Fsck nonconventional, unsupported formats :frown:

I've got some bad news- somebody was eating chips behind you.

Looks like VLC, BS, and MPC are all favorite, which I will try. Thanks, peeps.
