Best AMV Player?

Just curious, what do you think is the best overall player to view AMVs in? Something that's .mpg and .avi compatible. I used to like Windows Media Player, but that started to get ugly just recently (I close it and then it doesn't close when I ctrl+alt+delete, somewhat freezing the computer). RealOne player is what I have been using, but really it does bug the hell out of me with all its computer-slowing ads. So, those who have experience, what would you say is the best free player to view .avi/.mpg (or even more file types) ?

I prefer Windows Media Player myself. I haven't had any problems with it, really. Version 7 gave me a headache, due to the fact that it had no controls when it was full screen, but Version 9 has been just great. I'd try doing a Window's Update and see if that doesn't help you out.

uh.. realone dosent have any ads.
WMP 6.4 is the best in most respects other than the lack of a saturation adjustment and equalizer. Media Player Classic (MPC) by Gabset could be considered pretty good for AMVs since it can play stuff through vfw/directshow, the Real decoder system, and quicktime (a bunch of other stuff too)
WMP 9 isnt all that bad, at least in the corona skin mode.

it's all a matter of opinion....i use WMP 6.4 a lot, but i prefer Sasami2k (http://www.sasami2k.com)....too bad it doesn't seem to be in development anymore :\

Here's vote 2 for Media Player Classic.

I'm checking out sasami although in the mean time let me say that if you want tons of options to fuck around with stuff and all kinds of worthless but neat things like desktop mode try out BSplayer or Zoomplayer.

Personally I prefer Windows Media Player 6.4 (never tryed WMPC, I think I'll try it) because it's the fastest one and the simplest one. It only contains the basic and that's all I need: play,stop,pause full screen and I'm happy. It's really rare it freezes and it take almost no ram and processor power (while not playing a video offcourse). For quicktime I use QuickTime 6 pro or 5 pro (the newest one). And RealOne for rm. I use ZoomPlayer when I wanna have more function.

I love Sasami, but alas being a beta it has some nasty bugs. Since sasami stoped working on me totaly in the last few weeks I have been using MV2Player, it seems to work fine.

I'M BACK!

After recording about three albums for my underground band, attending three funerals, and have failed to get back into this site for an untold amount of time, ZARIUS HAS RETURNED!

I prefer WMP 6.4 also, none of this RAM crap. I tried it...did'nt work, in more ways than one

I use:

Irfanview
Media Player
Divx Player
and real player.

If one of them doesn't work quite right I use the other to get better results. I still haven't been able to get my sweetness to work right yet though, damn its good quality. lol.
