VLC tops our Media Player Survey

More than a third of the respondents in the last poll agreed that VLC is the most preferred media player. Windows Media Player came in at a close second.

What’s actually more interesting is that the other third of those who sent in their feedback had other media players in mind. That’s on top of the 8 choices I put up.

There were media players recommended that I’ve only heard of the first time — GOM player and KM player. Interestingly enough, there were quite a number of people who are still loyal to Media Player Classic.

    im using MPC for 7 years now. From CCCP to the one developed by Gabest with KLite codec pack, i downloaded it directly from sourceforge.
    I used ITunes, QT, WMP, GOM, VLC, DivX and WinAmp before.
    It’s my generic media player for all! :D

    Media Player Classic Home Cinema is good now that it supports h.264 decoding via internal filter (VPDAU, FFMPEG-HT). Only needed to add vobsub for subtitle rendering and perhaps CoreAVC as an alternate h.264 decoder since it consumes less resources.

    In GNU/Linux I prefer SMPlayer as a frontend for MPlayer which has the most GUI based customization options.

    VLC IMO is useful for streams since I’ve had issues with its blocky video rendering and problematic subtitle rendering.

    VLC consumes small amount of system resources, one of the best, hands down.

    Media Player Classic would have easily beat them if it’s only in the poll. It’s got excellent screenshot maker too!
