It's free and plays anything. Has it's own built-in codecs, so none of that codec bs.
Never tried bs player though.

BSPlayer's the BOMB and it's free too (although if you pay for it you get some nice extra features):
http://www.bsplayer.org/
That and Classic Media Player with Real Alternative and QuickTime Alternative and I don't use anything else.

I used bsplayer + media player classic for a while (mpc for .mkv encodes since bsplayer still doesn't have full matroska support) but I recently decided that one player is enough and kept mpc > http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... e_id=84358

Unfortunately starting with WMP 8 the codecs don't all work with 6.4, otherwise I'd still be using 6.4 myself.Media player Classic 6.4 is what I use.

MPC is the greatest. It uses the builting codec system windows has, I have been able to find windows codecs for every video format I've ever ran across (well except one and mplayer plays that in linux so...). You can get realplayer codecs and quicktime codecs and not have to worry about install those two apps, I hate realplayer.

Sorry, I thought you meant Windows Media Player 6.4 not MPC. Yes I use MPC for Real and Quicktime videos.
I use BSPlayer for everything else though because it supports having the player and the controls on two seperate monitors in a multimon system. I also like BSPlayers LARGE video position control on the pull down controls.
