Zoom Player just like vlc player plays everything you can through at it with nothing you do't need smallest most reliable media plyer i've found and it's free it just has a pop up when it starts peer gaurdian and not for normal reasons i removed all of the lists so i was blocking noone then when i found a person useing limewire to download i would add the ip to my peergaurdin list because limewire does not seed torrents also megui and mkv merge to convert any video file into low size high quality .mkv videos and security task manager find out what is easilly running on your comuter (ctrl=alt=delete on crack)

Every since Napho turned me on to KMPlayer its almost all I use. It comes with its own codecs like VLC. It uses little resources, has some options that are really neat that other players don't have (it also has a few missing as well) and makes playing High Definitions videos possible even on old computers. I know I rave too much about this player but I think its highly under rated so I took it under my wing to fanboi it. Download Link

I like how it tells you what codec its using for video and sound right under the vid box.

Skins available too.

*** I have also talked much about a feature this player has that allows the watcher to speed up the video to watch the movie faster and has a tone synthesizer built in that keeps the voices sounding normal no matter how fast you watch the movie. Once you get really fast it starts sounding all computer generated but there is no way you could watch a movie that fast anywho. Its easy to cut 10 to 15 minutes off a movie without even noticing its been sped up. Love that feature!

Sometimes the KMPlayer's default internal codecs/filters leave a little to be desired. You can easily change to a different codec -eg the Gabest filter plays all flv files, the KMP one doesn't. I don't want Mels to promote this player and have it mess up and draw him derision and vindictive from bitter, heartless internet tough guys. :devil2

I don't know if there was some setting I didn't have right, but the fast-play option didn't work very well at all for me. It WORKED, but compared to the PSP's ability to do the same thing, it was a pale comparison.

Not sure if this has been already discussed but if there was an issue in deciphering a codec of a multimedia file, GSpot is one great utility.

One of my favourites. Thought I mentioned it already.

Did you check the "TONE" control button? If you do not have that option checked it will not work right. Other than that I don't see what could go wrong.

Wow, month late.

I can't remember, but I remember fiddling around with it a bit, and I do remember messing with some tone options. People weren't talking high-pitched, but it was really quiet. It was one of those background volume<->foreground volume reversal issues. I was trying to watch the 70's show, and I couldn't hear a damn thing.
