I just got a new computer and I'm having to reload some things. I'm wondering what is your favorite video player on your computer?

Thanks for your suggestions

I've been using VLC lately and I really like it. Fast to load, stable, and I have yet to find a video format it cant open.

VLC is the way to go! Just install the LITE version. The full version has its own media player, but the LITE installs all the codec's required to play in a pre-installed system player (e.g. Windows Media as example).

Darn iPhone. I meant "into" not "knot" in my reply.

Thanks again for the advice
VLC - if you install the entire version you get some features that Media Player 10 either forgot or dropped off. You can set viewing for widescreen, regular, whatever your source video is, and the dvd player is much less obtrusive than MP---

It will also play ISO, BIN/CUE and rendered or ripped Video/Audio TS files.

This is IMHO, but I had to drop WMP after v9
