Can someone recommend a good video player?
Windows Media Player Series 9 seems to love to lock up when I close a video, then try to play another video afterward. I'm tired of formatting, so I'm just going to avoid the problem altogether. Can someone recommend a good video player that's free to download? It would be nice to have a player that lets me play Xvid 1.0 and Divx 5.x.x files. Thanks.

Did you try the DivX player? It's pretty good.

Winamp's better.

Okay, I just realized that it only plays HALF of the videos I own. Great...
EDIT: Kenai, you were right. Winamp plays everything except .vob files, but that's okay, neither did Windows Media Player. Xvid 1.0 files have sporatic frame rates, but that's fine. |

It's a data file for a DVD. When you rip a DVD to your computer, that's the file type that comes up.

While I don't think it does .vob, I recommend BSPlayer. It has really good subtitle support, if you watch a lot of foreign movies.

Div X is good, and Winamp, I suppose, but Div closes up sometimes too.
