Media players

Best media player, mainly for avi files, must take subs. Been using BSPlayer, wondered if anything better was out there.

What do you guys think?

You just know I can't pass up this opportunity :

Xbox Media Player/Centre.

I like zoomplayer myself. It has more options than you can shake a stick at, but is as simple as you want it to be. It also has support for subs and dual audio. If you get the pro version it will also play DVD's.

@eagleeater, I have heard a few good things about zoom. Might give it a try. Cheers.

Zoomplayer is real good, also I kinda like that core player as well.

used to be zoomplayer, but lately i've just found Media Player Classic an alround better player.

Zoomplayer for me, I like the functionality and style of it!

But number one has to be.........................

Xbox Media Player

BSPlayer works fine with my Remote Wonder. :mrgreen:

Zplayer was not too impressive for me, sticking to BSplayer for now.

Right then for all of you whingers that are using the fact that you haven't got an Xbox as an excuse not to run xbox media Centre, it's been ported to the PC (!) get it here

Lemme have a gander at this PCA, gonna hold you responsible if my PC melts.

I've just looked at it on the PC. It's almost completely pointless on the PC although it's obviously trying to be Windows XP media edition in a application. You have to imagine this running as an OS on the Xbox, then you see the point

did i say media player classic?

:lol:

paul-scream22 · **Posted:** Wed Apr 14, 2004 12:58 pm **Post subject:**

Yes you did Spud :wink:

And xbmp on PC is a bit pontless, but rockz on the xbox!

Recently I've startde to have problems with zoom player :cry:

So I may have to resort to bsplayer!!!

Have you tried the new XBMC? It finaly has playlists and supports heaps of new formats... Including OGM, avis + ogms with sperate audio streams, selectable subtitles etc etc

If i had a working xbox I would Jynks :cry:

It's curretnyl on it's way to getting fixed

I liked xbmc, but it never really worked for me, so stuck with xbmp.

Lets hope the new version is better AKA actually runs/plays files for me!!!
