There are people who don't use VLC?
What else is there? Or they just watch Netflix...

VLC is the popamole option. The Master race uses Media Player Classic.

MPC master race.

the real power users decompose video into frames using ffmpeg and watch it via slideshow in irfanview while playing the de-muxed audio stream through an honest-to-god stereo receiver via toslink connection.

[hello friend]

Intend to transition to some frankenstein mpc-be setup eventually, but for a while I've been using the preconfigured libmpv-based frontend bomi. It's fantastic, although sadly it doesn't appear to be actively maintained. If you just want to install something and spend no more than 5 minutes getting everything to your liking in program settings, bomi reigns supreme no contest. Ofc nothing beats a super customised mpc-be or mpv setup with the right plugins and settings, but that's a hassle and a half. Online installer no longer works, so for Windows the portable version is the way to go. I assume you could also build it yourself from source.

I use VLC for video types that I can't figure out how to play smoothly (with quick seeking) in MPC-HC with madVR, like WMV. I therefore hate WMV.

Am I the only one who switched from VLC to Daum PotPlayer and never looked back?

 

[Ol' Willy]

You people are too much obsessed with the video player question

 

[Bad Sector]

To be a bit more on topic...

...i just watched this review and Mandalore manages to put a lot of information about the game in just ~15 minutes - in comparison GmanLives' video (which is the only other video i watched about the game) is both longer and tells much less about the game (which i increasingly find to be the case with his videos - they are somewhat funny, but not that informative).

As for the game i think i'll get it at some point in the future when they fix the bugs.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

Yeah, it's a quality review
Mandalore is overall pretty consistent
You always know what to expect

 

[J_C]

You always know what to expect

Yes.

I have some problem with mandalore, I watch him but not religiously like I do accursedfarms (Ross) for example, but exactly sure why as they're quite similar, I think mandalore has a problem where he can be too dry or something? I think his best video so far was empire earth, I've rewatched it like 4-5 times and still think it's one of his best, second best I would say were the recent thief games he's done (though I wish he covered the neu thief game).

I switched to mpv from PotPlayer years ago out of convenience, before I used zoom player or mpc-hc codec bundles.

Vlc has an atavic bug that was never addressed: it fucks up the position of the subtitles when a manual cropping that reduces the aspect ratio is active.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

oh my, literally worse than hitler.

Is this post real

 

[Commissar Draco]

I use video player which Ubuntu installed for videos, Rymebox for music and Irfan-View for photos, all work fine but to be honest there is very little new shit worth watching or listening to nowadays.

 

[Nifft Batuff]

oh my, literally worse than hitler.

Well, it's not literally Hitler. But for my personal usage, where I need to crop to different aspect ratios a lot of movies, with subtitles that go partly outside the visible screen, this is basicly the only reason I cannot use VLC.

Considering also that the bug is very simple (it just wrongly evaluate the position of the subtitle on the geometry of the non-cropped screen instead of the cropped one) and that it's 10+ year that has been identified but never solved, this is annoying.

But I agree, there are more annoying things than this. For example the fact that a lot of youtubers don't have the slightest idea how the aspect ratio works and fuck up continuosly when showing videos of retro gaming or old movies that use different ar than 16:9.

I've been using MPC-HC+madVR for ages, but I recently came across some some BD rips where the CPU usage is getting ridiculous (>35% on 3570), I thought DXVA was supposed to offload most of this on the GPU.

the reason you cannot use vlc for something vlc hasn't been made for it's because you're trying to use vlc for something vlc hasn't been made for.

And VLC can do much more than simply cropping a video (many players can do cropping, it's a relatively basic function of a video player.)
