Looking for the best HD Media Player!

[Flarestar]

Title says it all, I have tried several different players without much success. I have a 32 inch HDTV with my Radeon HD 4870 plugged into the tv via hdmi. Any suggestions?

 

[DaRonRon]

i would suggest Media Player Classic. Runs about every video type there is...

 

[Flarestar]

yes but does it enhance hd?

 

[YupYup]

yes but does it enhance hd?

I would say yes but that really depends on what you mean by "enhance".

Media Player Classic with CoreAVC + ffdshow works great for HD rips, meaning 720p or 1080p MKV files encoded with x264. Is this what you mean, or are you talking about playing proper Blu-ray through your computer into your tv?

i ran ffdshow with media center on vista, and it worked great on my 26" monitor connected via HDMI. i have not tried those videos or ffdshow on 7 yet, but 7 does HDTV through MCE whereas vista does not, so im sure videos would work too.

try CyberLink.PowerDVD.Deluxe.v9xxx and DivX.Pro.v7.xxx it's works great for HD

 

[Captain Zero]

^^ Agree with the above with the note that the 'Deluxe' version doesn't support Blu-ray. 'PowerDVD Ultra' does and version 9 comes highly recommended as the best HD/Blu-ray player out there. That is, until Orion get their act together...

 

[DoubleGee]

I would also recommend Media Player Classic / BS Player / KM Player (BS Player installs the needed codecs automatically)
Njoy! ;]

The kmplayer is free and imo is better than all those stated above. Not only does it support all formats but the features are second to non and skins come in abundance.

Media Player Classic is awesome!!

 

[Dragonfox2]

no your best bet is too get ALShow media player or DAPlayer they both support bluray and 1080P n 1080I so if u want the best HD Experiences get one of those two i will give out the link here: ALShow Free Media Player - Play movies, videos - Built-in Video Codecs and the daplayer link here: DAPlayer - Free HD Bluray Video Multimedia Player Software injoy

By far the best video playback software for me atleast is VLC, and yes it does play full HD videos.

 

[Jeff Biggers]

XMP is the best. It is as versatile and user-friendly as KMP, but at the same time much better than the latter when it comes to media that are critically resource-demanding, like HD videos, mtc, mkv files etc. It is especially true when your system resources are in the tight.

To each his own. I now use GOM Media Player about which I recently learned on this very Forum.

Title says it all, I have tried several different players without much success. I have a 32 inch HDTV with my Radeon HD 4870 plugged into the tv via hdmi. Any suggestions?

 

[Jeff Biggers]

I tried GOM Media Player but I had a problem with it, I could hear the sound but I couldn’t see the video.

 

[wanchoo]

Try again. If the video doesn't show up then stop and restart.

Does the video show up then?

splash HD lite is a free version.

The same with you, I also looking for a hd video player for a very long time, finally I choose totalmedia, I like it because it can change region code, I always travel all around the world, I hope you like it.
