Ultima Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Funny how when you do one thing unrelated to the program that he doesn't like, he suddenly turns on it and says that it sucks, citing the most ridiculous reason.Metatron, stick to Usenet if you love it so much, we don't need users like you breaking common rules of etiquette spamming the forum.Unless you can disprove Google cache and prove me wrong, I'll just say this: don't sign up under two usernames and pretend to be separate users, jult/Metatron, just to make it look like your opinions have more weight than they really do.@Firon: Metatron was the other username I suspect jult to be signed up under, and yes, it'll probably be pointless to ban him as well, since (if my hunch really is correct) he'll just come back under another IP address again.

hofshi Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Metatron: I am not a side in this argument, but I would appreciate it if you could edit your response and refrain from using bad language and name calling. It does not reflect well on you or Julius, and it's not pleasant to read.thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwnage Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 So mPlayer is bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 Isn't it command-line based? Either way, it uses FFmpeg like FFDshow and VLC, so why not use one of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 mplayer is better than VLC. ANYTHING is better than VLC. And uh, probably to avoid dealing with codecs and any related issues. mplayer has a GUI version, afaik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwnage Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Why is VLC bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 VLC has a lot of bugs (especially playback problems).@Firon: Hm... if mplayer indeed does have a GUI (I recalled something like this, but wasn't too sure), I doubt it's very functional or friendly, otherwise it would probably be used over VLC =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 VLC's got a lot of broken things, and bugs in general. The fansubbing scene hates it because of that, since stupid users use VLC then bitch about the videos not working because VLC is broken. It's got the worst implementation of ffmpeg out of everything using it.Ultima: mplayer is relatively unknown in the Windows world, so it doesn't surprise me that few people use it. Plus, the most visible versions are the commandline ones, so that doesn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodStaindHurricane Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 I havent noticed bugs in VLC and been using it for a while now. A fine player as far as I'm concerned. I only use it to sample avi's or DVD's before burning, but I've never had a problem with it. Better than MPC in my opinion.I'll check out mplayer, though. What's better about it? (..."because it was intended for Linux" doesnt count as an answer...lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 30, 2006 Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 MPlayer's just great all around -- a lot of multimedia applications are based around it for a reason ;PToo bad it's basically a CLI program. I'm sure there are GUIs for it, but I don't know of any.I've experienced playback problems with VLC, like stuttering sound (among other things). If it works perfectly for you, you can probably stick to it, since there isn't much other reason to switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 mplayer has non-buggy implementations of libavcodec and other related codecs, while VLC does. And Ultima, you can find them on the unofficial packages section on the mplayer page. Not exactly that easy to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 http://mpui.sourceforge.net/That's a cool front-end (nice site too, IMHO) for MPlayer. Keep in mind you still need to download the back-end from the MPlayer site. On an unrelated note: I can finally uninstall VLC since Mplayer can also play .BIN files (something no other player has been able to do, including KoolPlaya + codecs).

oblivion Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 actually, the mplayer.exe is included in mpui package. but it still lacking file association and remember volumn setting etc. which are mentioned in his roadmap. cool client. btw, new mpc seems have divx xvid ac3 sort of all included in the exe now, but i still like ffdshow better cos i think it's volume normaliser is better than mpc.

Firon Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 MPC doesn't decode divx or xvid? And it's always decoded AC3/DTS (and does a better job than ffdshow).If you wanna use volume normalization, you can let MPC decode it, and let ffdshow handled uncompressed audio, which means you can still use it to do the volume stuff. That's what I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwnage Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 So Mplayer is the best? It plays everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 I personally prefer MPC with ffdshow and a few other codecs (CoreAVC and NVIDIA PureVideo; VSFilter for subs), but mplayer sure as hell plays more than VLC (and does it right). The choice is up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 Then you should probably stick to MPUI if you really want to use MPlayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
