I use Media Player Classic, VLC player, and Zoom Player Pro.

 

I have never understood the various combinations of these

programs that play particular videos. It is like playing a

game of cards and you never know what you will draw. I long ago

gave up on the idea of just using one player program. VLC seems

to be the most self contained.

 

Zoom Player needs ffdshow and various splitters. However, once

you have everything, I like it better. It has played some

videos that vlc didn't. However it does not use a standard

windows window with an active window border and I frequently key

keys before reliazing that my keystrokes are not going to it.

 

MPC loads quickly and uses a standard interface.

 

I find I need all three.

Media Player Classic does not support FLV file format.

I installed Sothink FLV Player, works good.

flv files play fine on my system with MPC and ffdshow.

 

A helpful resource on playing flv files is "AfterDawn.com:

Guides: How to play FLV Files" at

I heard ffdshow codec pack installation may heavy reconfigure system

performance; they will screw up video, sound and performance.

That has not been my experience. I have no problems that I can

relate to ffdshow.
