MPC,

then Zoom,

then any of the Linux frontends for MPlayer (If I’m on my Linux box, duh)

then VLC if I’m using old hardware, and don’t care if my subtitles are occasionally rendered at 100 pixels in height, or that the player often chokes on Matroskas. (Wow, psychedelic, man!!)

VLC? Really, just say no….

I’ll use GIMP to make my PNGs, it’s another step, but I usually want to touch up screencaps, anyway.

@sho: hmm, icic. That, or the fact that VLC automatically saves the pics too.

@oTAKu: oohh, I’ve never used KMPlayer… might look into that sometime.

Hey, I never noticed that! Even though I had GOM Player, I never used it. But a time comes where you have one too many media players (like 12?) so I thought at least one had to go, so GOM made its way to the Recyling Bin. I use either CCCP for .mkv or The KMPlayer for everything else; it does pretty much everything too!

well VLC takes png screen captures by default whereas MPC doesn’t… so that could be considered a “reason”

@biankita: eh, why use a different player for playing and taking screenshots? Unless you watch an episode twice, I think that’s gonna be real hard.

@bobofet: I seem to have grown out of MPC, though I use it when I feel like watching the MKVs with more style lol. VLC is… quite a last priority in my media player options

so the latest VLC seems to play mkv files great…

on my amd 3200+ geforce 2 gfx mplayerc sometimes doesnt loses audio and video synchronization, cause my gfx card is too damn slow

[ RANT on my solution (ignore if you want):
i managed to alleviate this somewhat by fiddling around with the codecs but after 5-10 min the desynced again. so i would have to start playing again from where it desynced. ]

anyway the new vlc played the files awesome…subs included…

i still use mpc for my xvids and vlc for the hires mkc files that mpc has trouble playing

@sho: ROFL. user commentaries on the video would be far tooo distracting, and more retarded too, most likely

also, looks like VLC and GOM still has the issue with simultaneous subs. I looked at Kure-nai episode 3 to double check… it seems that I used MPC when I watched that before. Talk about a major flaw I overlooked orz.

@kanzeon: Ooh, the subs for Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto has been really slow that I relied on raws/chinese subs instead

Lol I also use GomPlayer and I also found the side comments funny XD! Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu Na Koto ~Natsu no Sora~ is an another example.
