Title: Looking for a good media player
Post by: Angus on November 28, 2003, 08:13:53 PM

Hello there all
Just wondering whether it is possible to find a good and possibly also free media player (dvd's and mpegs) anywhere.
I have some files to play, but whenever I download a player it is either not free, 14 days shareware, or does (afterall!) not support the current file format.
So, if you know some, please let me know :=)

Blah! Musicmatch is free, and for only 20 bucks you get a helluva nice product and many perks.

Free and better than Winamp, I think:

Dunno about DVD's, but musicmatch plays MPEGs. I dont play many DVDs on my computer anymore, but I use power DVD (it came with my video card)

videolan player. Not very pretty, but plays most if not all formats and can also play files before they are 100% downloaded. Its great for viewing partially downloaded files to determine if they are any good  :D ;)

winamp 3 plays all the videos i have DL'd even quicktime. kind of a jack of all trades.

if you are looking for just mp3 and cd audio sitck with winamp 2.7x or 2.8x (i use 2.80 every day)
