Which OS?

On Mac It's a toss up between Mplayer and VLC, VLC looks much nicer, I wish they would implement the full screen aspects of the osx version into windows. VLC is better on Mac than on Windows.

On Win it's a toss up between MPC and VLC

for HD I prefer MPC, It just plays better.

yeh i use the same combo for windows...mpc for mkv and vlc for everything else.

On Windows I'd say GOM Player is "as good as" cos they're both standalone but have strengths in different areas... I use both, although VLC is my default player.

Do you need good PC to watch mkv files?
Cause they have epelectic fits running on mine.

For high-definition you do.

I use Zoom player. Wouldn't say it's better than VLC, I just like the interface and the ease of use. I do have and occasionally use VLC though.

KMPlayer is the best media player on Windows, and it's better than anything on OSX or Linux too.

I have it, and it is actually not bad, i just don't like the hotkeys in it. Maybe I am used to VLC player hotkeys but KMplayer remids me a lot of windows media player classic, with tons of more options. So yea, KMPis really good.

I have both VLC and KMP. And I must admit that I use VLC the most, even though i am very satisfied with both.

You run both Win and OsX right? What's the best Media player on os X? I've been using VLC and Mplayer. Both are very decent.

I don't know of any others that support .MKV files.

You should try the new v0.9.2.

More options, better video quality (VLC is good and easy, but the video quality when running .TS stuff was visibly lower than Zoomplayer etc)

On OSX I just use VLC, altho I had mplayer installed on my old macbook for the odd thing that didn't run. Just have VLC on my MBPro now. KMPlayer is on my HTPC.

You run a Mac? I didn't know that.

Mplayer is very nice. It plays .mkv files really nicely. I just can't run 1080i with it. Maybe my pc is to slow for it. Who knows. I can play 1080i files with Windows.

If punz had any real ballz he'd run irssi

i just got smplayer for my hd and blueray downloads and for those smplayer beats vlc hands down. Id skip through parts of the movie with vlc and vlc would freeze up and couldnt catch up with the movie( no it wasnt my comp) but smplayer went straight to anyparts of the movie in NO time at all.

I don't run a Mac, I'm a snobby GNU/Linux zealot at heart ( least I admit it). By mplayer I mean the one found here: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html (not sure if this is the same one you're talking about on mac or not, don't use them often enough).

It's multi-platform, plays everything you can throw at it and when you pass the right flags you an play 720p/1080i(some) rips on even shitty pc's like high endish p4s without issue (I love it, between mplayer and VLC you can really handle everything). /mplayer whoring

I know where the fuck has he been, I've finally reached his level of linux/mplayer whoring and he's not even around, nonsense I say.

I do use irssi! Since I'm a horrid IRC whore (it's embarrassing to actually admit how many networks I'm connected to at one time) I have two clients running, xchat and irssi, irssi on my shell for networks I'd rather not have my home IP shown. On EFnet it doesn't really bother me, and lets me test out lots of intrusion detection linux software since in the right channels you'll be portscanned/probed (sounds dirty) daily.

(shameless desktop screenshot plug:

and that's only one side of my 'cube' (which is actually a pentagon since I use five 'virtual' desktops), use my laptop as an Ubuntu box that every six months (every new major release of ubuntu) I go big into theming it, gonna switch it up in October with the release of Intrepid Ibex.

I never even heard of KMPlayer or GOMPlayer before seeing this thread. I'm downloading them now. They look very promising.

Only the 1337 use that program, It is above all else the best around. You pay for the codecs because it is the best.

If you want the best you gotta be willing to pay for the best.
