What media player for windows 7?

drogon · 3 Apr 2010 at 13:52

I was just wondering what was the best media player for playing video content.

I've finally got my pc connected to my tv thanks to a 10m hdmi cable. I was using xbmc before on my old xbox.

Videos look awesome on vlc. Is it the best program to use though or what about mpc-home theatre with ffdshow?

I'm finding the blacks a little too dark with vlc and maybe the image is a little too saturated.

Cheers

Why not carry on using XBMC?

Ive become quite interested in using XBMC having seen the standalone 'live' version but what's the advantage of using the windows version over windows 7 media center?

I doubt there is much in it regards image quality but I like the way MPC-HC looks and behaves over the other players available so I stick with that.

Media Player Classic?

I use VLC for HD and DVD, MPCHC for most other formats and Media center for TV. Does XBMC play TV through your TV card?

I've set up media player classic with ffdshow as show in this thread and its awesome
