Best program for watching films

Media Player Classic - Home Cinema.

I used VLC for a long time but after trying MPC I won't be going back to VLC any time soon. It seems far more reliable and less resources hungry than VLC
 
The latest build of VLC is stable after a slight wobble. It's handled everything I throw at it apart from hi-def rips and VP7 format files.

I like MPC, and MPC home cinema handles hi-def (e.g. Matroska) files very well. My only gripe, and it's almost a non-gripe is that MPC needs to switch Aero off to work. (EDIT - just MPC that does this oddly enough).

GOM player is pretty good, but doesn't do anything extra I can't do in VLC.

Might try MPC again. The Aero thing is going to annoy me, though, since I tend to watch videos windowed on my second monitor whilst doing other stuff.

(edit) Just downloaded the latest MPC-HD and it hasn't disabled Aero on Vista 64 :)

(edit2) Not as efficient as VLC though. Uses 20% of one core compared to VLC's 4% on the same video, not that that really matters!
