The whole reason I'm here looking through this is because I want a player that will not only play my videos, and play it to full advantage, but do so via a nice, pleasing interface. Which VLC does not have. I just can't bring myself to use the thing. Same for Media Player Classic. Ugly-as-sin. KM sounds like it just might make my day though. I've downloaded it. Also GOMplayer. P.S. If it's a matter of compatibility, that's really not that hard at all. Just get the right codec pack. I don’t get why people like VLC either.

After looking at all the replys... KMPlayer is the best... although everyone had said their mind but no one has stated why... Here is why KMPlayer is the Best: NO Installation required: You can extract the files into a folder/thumb drive and play the player from there. Screen Control: you can control the screen aspect ratio, the clip/media ratio and have options to see the media at 1/2, normal, 1.5 , double and window size... there are custom sizes as well Player: This is one player that will play anything you throw at it...3gp,AVI, WMA, WMV, DAT, MPEG, MPG, FLV, REAL, QT, DIVX, DVD, VCD... the list goes on... COntrol: You have a lot of control on the way the media plays, right arrow skips the clip 5 secs, Ctrl + Right Arrow skips it 1 min, you can decrease the speed... anything you want to do... (NOT in VLC) Tools: Apart from saturation, contrast, brightness at both the SW and the HW level, you can rotate the clip, flip it.. any which way you want... Sound: It has a built in equilizer, has plugins to clean the sound track, add effects and all.... IN ALL... the BEST Media Player I have seen and I have tried all of the one's that have been mentioned in this thread... Link: http://kmplayer.en.softonic.com/ My 2 Cents worth.... 919263 OK… After looking at all the replys…

Never liked it. *yawn* ;) Media Player Classic for the win! I use Media Player Classic and sometimes GOM Player. Both are far superior than VLC, in my opinion. Meh, VLC. Never liked it. *yawn* ;)
