Best Alternative To Windows Media Player? - GoFuckYourself.com

tiger · 08-23-2008, 12:49 PM

I have finally had enough of this piece of shit. The thing is slow and buggy as fuck. Who has an alternative they are happy with?

I forgot to mention this thing is also a resource hog.

MarcWomack · 08-23-2008, 05:39 PM

Klite codec pack includes codecs to play damn near anything and Windows Media Player classic. Download here.

bronco67 · 08-23-2008, 06:09 PM

V L C

never fails me

d-null · 08-23-2008, 06:26 PM

GOM is far and away the best choice

brandonstills · 08-23-2008, 08:56 PM

VLC works pretty good. It's a little annoying though when you seek and it doesn't go back and get the I-frame. It just continues on using the old I-frame from where you were before you jumped.

I've been using BS Player for many years now. It's light weight and has great skins.

I use the older version 1.02 though.

Yes. But not the Real format. I need real alternative for that.

GigoloShawn · 08-24-2008, 01:26 AM

As priorly mentioned, Media Player Classic. If you install DefilerPak (old, I know), then update ffdshow, you're still able to watch 98.4% (or so) of content, and you don't have your whole system brainfucked with too many shitty old and unnecessary codecs.

I would be a little wary on x64, however. If you're x64, you're basically stuck with WiMP.

seeandsee · 08-24-2008, 03:34 AM

Vlc, Gom And Classic Media Player

beta-tester · 08-24-2008, 04:41 AM

KMplayer, it includes all the necessary codecs, and it's based on mplayer engine.

mc-nudes · 08-25-2008, 09:10 AM

would go with the mp classic + klite-codec pack ...

webcams_scotchie · 08-25-2008, 09:53 AM

VLC is the alternative to every other media player available.
It will player pretty much any weird format you can throw at it and available most OS's and there's need to mess around with downloading codec's

tiger · 08-25-2008, 10:43 AM

Going to try out a couple of these, thanks!
