Which are the codecs which GOM supports but VLC does not ?

VLC + Media Player Classic + Billy + MediaMonkey FTW

^I dont remember the name of it buddy but it was once when i freshly installed both of these and GOM Player refused to play one of my file which VLC played. I think i should take my words back. VLC plays everything that GOM plays.

max_daemon: Ya mediamonkey's interface is one of my favourites. And its equalizer works great on my soundcard.

@GX_Saurav: One thing that annoys me about Windows Media Player is its equalizer. I dont know why but on my soundcard (Intel Advance HD Audio 2 on my Dell Inspiron 1525) setting equalizer settings even a lil higher then the mid point causes beats in the songs to sound weird, like they are supressed. In Winamp this problem was solved by changing my equalizer from Winamp 4Front EQ to Constant-Q EQ. In MediaMonkey, the default equalizer works flawlessly. But Windows Media Player doesn't have any options about equalizer. Thats the reason i had to Dump it as my audio player, otherwise i like the media library a lot. Do you have any suggestions how i can rectify this problem? I have all other DSP settings in WMP disabled and no driver enhancements are running, i disabled them all.

True. But as we get portable VLC player, it comes in pretty handy.

I don't use equalizer at all so can't talk on that front. Even I use VLC as my portable media player, there is no use using VLC as a primary media player for me.

This new version is good for playing flv files.
Though i prefer
PowerDVD for dvd's
Gom player for full HD
WMP for music (the best)
SMplayer for anything others can't play.

I found vlc still can't play rmvb files. SMplayer can.

VLCplayer the last time I tried had the shittiest interface.

Its smplayer for me. single key mplayer shortcuts,, easy display adjustments, and plays any file..lacks library feature though(wmp)

[max_demon]

VLC For Playing Complex Videos
Media Player Classic for Playing good Mobies
Billy for MP3
MediaMonkey for Audio and Editing

Do you mean you mean you dont use equalizer at all?? or you use your sound driver's global equalizer? How come you can get good sound without equalizer?

I dont know what having a primary player means. I use VLC+SMPlayer+GOMPlayer+MediaMonkey+WMP combo, whichever comes into my sight first But this combo plays any file thats for sure.

For audio, ya i use media monkey these days as default. earlier it was winamp with constan-eq equalizer and before that, when i had my acer lapcrap, it was wmp which certainly sounded best on that soundcard.

foobar for mp3
kmp for video.
power dvd for dvds.

even i don't use equalizers...i prefer to listen as it is...

Exactly why I don't use WMP for music. Actually the same problem is present in Winamp and Foobar as well. Only player whose equalizer works well is VLC. You can get really awesome bass by tweaking VLC's equalizer, without any distortion.

I like WMP 11, although prefer VLC over it.
iTunes 8 is sweet(Vista users stay away, it gives BSOD)
