Anyone have any advice on what/which is the best Media players around. Would like to know what is your experience as well as what is the best functionality wise. Greatly appreciate the assistance.
 
Media Player Classic (MPC). Media Player Classic is an extremely light-weight media player for Windows. It looks just like the good-old Media Player v6.4, but has lots of nice extra features.

MPC has, for instance, a built in DVD player with real-time zoom, support for AVI subtitles, QuickTime and RealVideo support (requires QT and/or Real player), and lots more.

Definitely a great replacement for the huge and clumsy Microsoft Media Players.
 
dbecks : It depends on what you define as a Media Player... are you talking stand alone or a piece of software for the pc?
 
Looking for the stand alone (e.g. Mvix)
 
I recently bought the Tvix 6500. Awesome little machine, plays everything I throw at it + I've set up wireless connection to PC. I did some serious research before I bought and the majority consent is that the Tvix trumps the Mvix. :D Good interface and remote, good online community to sort out problems and fairly regular firmware upgrades

It is a bit expensive though. A cheaper alternative might be the Popcorn Hour A110 - also receives rave reviews.

The Mvix 780 still has the older Sigma chip installed (I think they have announced a Mvix 800, but I have no idea when it will be available in SA). The Tvix and Popcorn Hour have the new chips - I think it is Sigma 8635 or something for better HD support etc. etc.
 
Popcorn Hour 110 ...

Read many reviews which say it's awesome.
