OverClocked ReMix...

For me, it's a combination of GOM Media Player and CCCP that contains Media Player Classic. I heard that CCCP is a clean install that contains everything that I need so I went with it. Regarding GOM, it has been a better experience for me than VLC 'cause it gives me fewer crashes. I don't know whether VLC has improved recently...haven't used it in a long while.

I'd like to try Real Alternative and uninstall the useless Real Player from my laptop. I did try QuickTime Alternative for a bit but it had a few issues with me.

I use Winamp for MP3s and CCCP + Media Player Classic for video. I used to use a different video player (its name escapes me at the moment), but its color settings were messed up and it didn't have to option to fix them anywhere, so I went back to MPC.

Winamp for any music, and I also use the CCCP codec pack as well, but I prefer to use VLC player for most videos. It turns out that when you run multiple monitors, Media Player Classic sometimes crashes hard, requiring me to either go into the Task Manager really quickly or hit the big reset button on the PC. Something about it just doesn't like being moved across two monitors...

But if it has soft subs and/or multiple language tracks, then it goes to Media Player Classic. It handles them so much better then VLC does.

I used to use VLC but I switched to CCCP/MPC for vids.

Winamp for music.

Winamp for audio, Media Player Classic w/ K-Lite Codec Pack, Real Alternative and Quicktime Alternative for video.

For anyone who's used both, how does CCCP compare with the K-Lite pack?

CCCP (Combined Community Codec Pack, http://www.cccp-project.net/ if you are unfamiliar) and Media Player Classic Homecinema. I really wanted to go about and just download codecs seperately based on what I needed, but AVICodec couldn't even detect the codec that I needed so I just relented and installed CCCP.

I used to use Media Player Classic with the FaxMactor Essential Codecs Pack. FaxMactor ECP has some beef with windows media player I guess, but it was able to run about 95% of all the videos I played.

I've since switched to VLC. Although I haven't run across any incompatibility issues yet, the "fix avi" option is very nice. There's some seeking trouble though. Whenever I seek, the picture freezes in place and the audio is all that really seeks. The solution is to seek again, since it happens about 50% of the time. It's rather annoying though.

VLC & Winamp if there aren't any problems, MPC as a backup for video files that for one reason or another give VLC beef.

I hate codec nonsense, having to download a zillion, etc... VLC is a godsend in terms of packaging everything together in a clean way, and their latest update makes the interface at least a lil bit slicker, plus supports AVCHD from my Canon Vixia that Larry was whoring around at MAG...
