I'm still using an old BSPlayer (which a lot of people think it's crap), but it plays everything except .ts (Mpeg Transport Stream), and 10bit 4x4x4 (future format).
It's compatible with CCCP, FFDshow, subtitles, etc.
I like how easy it is to use, and it works perfectly with my IR remote, while Media Player classic doesn't
For me, my remote's compatibility has a big importance in choosing a player.
I think Media Player Classic (with codec FAST told above) is still the best player if you want to play all file format.
PS:
CCCP is "Combined Community Codec Pack".
It's the evolution of "codec pack" which are always bad, wrong versions, allowing people to install MANY conflicting codecs together, with bad options, etc.
CCCP fix that. It installs ONLY the 3 required program which plays everything : FFDShow, Haali spliter, and Vobsub/VSFilter.
In addition, it's configured correctly and it works with all (most) media players*. (they are using all the options I used for years, I confirm it's well done
)
Just remove all previously installed codec to prevent conflicts.
* They even have a
wiki with all existing media players and how to configure them correctly. some are easier than other. Some are not recommended.
