Amen to that. VLC is the best. Needs to be added to the choice in the poll. How did i know about VLC ? Team-BHP of course.

Its VLC.

Default player is real and if it fails (even if all) its VLC. Dont ask me why the best is not the default player

WMP for me since it supports both audio & video, though I must say Winamp was the simplest & best for me previously

Ford_madhan · 19th March 2008, 15:54

VLC is the way to go.. Plays everything..

Sks_Biker · 19th March 2008, 15:56

foobar FTW! I use foobar with Media player classic for videos.

VLC very rarely if needed.

brar · 19th March 2008, 22:51

audio - real player(best sound)
video - without a doubt VLC player . plays every video format

That is exactly why you want foobar to resample to 48k

the ssrc resampler for foobar is light years ahead of any onboard sound, even better than audigys

Itunes is really simple looking and yet is very user friendly.
But you might have to have separate computer to run

Foobar2000 for audio, and VLC for video.
Guess we're all performance addicts in all other spheres of life, lol.
