Yeah, for DVD-Video files PowerDVD is the best. I don't know how well they play other types of video formats though, I never tried.

VLC is the best video player there is.

I used Gom Player and it was very good until i tried some HD files; the performance was terrible (for some).
Browsing through the official forums noticed i was not the only one with that problem.
All the other players (vlc, kmp) played those "heavy" media without any problems.
But that was 3 4 versions ago....
Now i use KMPlayer and i'm happy with it.

PS: some mentioned BSPlayer, be careful, because the latest free versions have spyware.

Media Center 12 is quite nice if you can stand using something that works alot like WMP.

Im with Slowdive
I use KMPlayer, aka Korea Media Player

I like it very much. It plays alot of formats I think, at least everything I need it to play.

Old versions are good.
Unfortunately it's crammed with ad/spyware now...

I like VLC and Gom player.

VLC is still the top pick though, its now become the second program I install on all of my new computers, after Firefox.
