Title: What Is The Best Program For Playing Video Clips?
Post by: thedarkonexxx on May 03, 2005, 05:39:06 pm

I tried Winamp and Windows Media Player, but neither of them play .avi files for me.  Can someone please recommend me one that plays all types of them.  Thank You.

DivX player is pretty good, but WMP and Winamp should both play them.  I don't understand why they don't.

you need divX and Xvid to run them. I run mine in Windows Media Player. I hate using anything else.

I use Windows media player 10 and that seems to do everything I want except for some video clips which need DivX which is still pretty good I guess.

I like WMP 10 for Windows, and Noatun for Linux.

Another thing is that if you want to play real media and dont want the player.
Get this and dont install the media player (in the insyaller) if you are happy with your Media player.

Video Lan Client - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)
It is an excellent media player that plays many major formats.  This has recently led to some patents problems (because it supports so many different codecs).  Very nice peace of software and works on almost any OS imaginable.
