All-purpose video player:

[FredLC]

Hello there, fellow CivFanatics.

I'd like to ask a little question for you computer experts. See, I find it annoying that I have to see some videos im my computer using only the Realplayer, while others I get to play with the Windows Media Player, while others yet I gotta play with the Quicktime Player.

So, what I'd like to know is... is there a software that can play all those medias (preferably a shareware or adware that accepts full screem modes)? I'd really like a player that rids me from the annoyance of opening one software after another...

Regards .

Mplayer

Although the windows port is not as good as the native version, and the GUI is not what I'd call great, the command line is still full-featured. The GUI is far from perfect, and it's considered pre-alpha, and might not work. But it works great for me, so you could try it.

The windows binaries are located here, in zipfiles :
http://ftp.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32-beta/

Use the mplayer-wingui for the GUI, or the most recent among the rest of them for the command-line.

Oh, and it's completely, as in open source, and as in price.
