Hello all.

Well, I don't use Windows Media Player so I was wondering what other decent alternatives do you use to play video files in the format of avi's and all other popular types of video files? I've heard of VLC Player is it? Is that any good? What others are there?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

For sheer "playability" then yeh, i've not met a better player than VLC, it can play almost anything you feed it... even raw data files with no extensions, .bin files, divx and xvid files absolutely anything you can throw at it, as long as there is data there to be read, it will play it. (In my experience anyway)

Thats the good side of VLC, it also has a bad side, mainly being the UI, its about as basic as the developers could ever make it, and some features that you might use are hidden deep inside multiple menus etc... But then again, this makes it easy on system reosources, so its a plus again

My vote goes to VLC

K-lite codec pack with Media Player Classic. Works with everything, even DVDs when you dont have a codec.
 
I say go with VLC media player as well.

In any case, just download a few media players and see which one you prefer.
