VLC is great indeed but you might want to try this one: http://lifehacker.com/5822672/the-best-video-player-for-windows
MPC-HC runs FLV.Those damn FLV files that barely play on anything but your browser.
VLC is one of the first things I install on a new computer. It's definitely the recommended video-player.
Hmm, yeah. Back when I tried that last, FLV Player was the only one that didn't barf all over my desktop. Once I got it working, I saw no reason to retry the other players. I'll have to try it again on MPC. Well OK, to be fair, VLC played it but slow and buggy. FLV at the time must have been one of the most proprietary formats in existence!MPC-HC runs FLV.Those damn FLV files that barely play on anything but your browser.
Wow, it must be nice to live in the 1990's. j/kVLC is one of the first things I install on a new computer. It's definitely the recommended video-player.
Doesn't it also disable DVD region locking?
It was probably freezing on ordered chapters. Also MPC-HC can play hi10p video fine with ffdshow while VLC did not get hi10p support till version 2.0.The -ONLY- time I had issues with VLC was watching C3. It'd freeze every...I dunno what they're called, section? change. Like going from part 1 to part 2...it'd freeze. It was really annoying, but it was the only anime (or video, period) to ever screw up on VLC for me.
The glitchy/pixelated screen prowler posted a screenie for in page 1 stopped happening after I updated to whatever the hell version i'm on now.
I have issues with a lot of other media players. I used Media Player Classic for ages, but it couldn't run 10-bit anime, so I ditched it.
Windows Media Player is just plain unreliable, even with codec packs and the like.
