I'm using Windows Media Player now for movies etc, but it's slow on my computer. Any better ones that you guys recommend?

i hate version7 so much! it's SO big and bloated. but I have to put up with it because it's the only damn thing that plays 300k streams from a certain website.

WMP is just about the only choice. Real Player is twice as bloated as WMP7(and no, I don't know how they did it), and there really isn't anything else out there that'll play AVIs and MPGs without a problem.:eek:

Media Player's just the best i think, no need to download anything else. if you're using 7, i'd suggestt you remove it IMMEDIATELY. it's way too overbloated, and 6 was just what i wanted. quick, fast, simple, and small. also divx's have a major problem with 7, most of my movies wouldn't work on 7 at all.

I use PowerDVD, it does pretty much everything except divx (gotta keep WMP for something).
