Watching movies in Windows

lowpro2k3 · 01-21-2005, 11:22 PM

What programs do you use to watch movies in windows?

* dvd movies (original or backed up)
* mpg/mpeg
* avi
* rm
* other popular formats

I basically know nothing about media formats, I want to be able to play whatever I download.

there is a VLC player for linux and windows
it can almost play all types of extensions

Seems like an awesome tool so far, thanks

I prefer Mplayer for those exotic types then VLC because the interface is far nicer than VLC's... and in Windows I use ZoomPlayer- everything is customizable, fat, and in a nice package.

Why would you want to watch movies through windows, Someone might think your trying to break into their house when they see you standing outside and call the police?

ooohh, you mean the OS

windows? I use the reset button.

just use vlc. there is no better player for windows what it comes to ease of use and file format support.
mplayer may be good, too. but it isn´t nearly as nice as with linux.
