Its been a long time i stopped using microsoft products(Except the OS lol..). So after quitting windows media player, i used real player for some time. It was also not so good except the audeo codecs.

Then i started using VLC player. Which is a really awesome and simple player with lot of features. The main attraction is its subtitle management. It doesn't bother about the format stuff. Whatever you name it, it plays it. It needs only the file name of the subtitle should match with the file name of the video file. Thats it. As simple as that.

It plays almost any type of video, mostly everything. It plays dvd files, avi files, divx files, mainly flv files etc.

Another major advantage is, ITS PORTABLE. You dont need to be an Administrator to install it. Just keep it in a USB drive and play from it wherever you go.

When comes to disadvantage, it doesnt have a quality UI, so its like a old junk. Also the video quality really sucks some times.

But among all these, its still rocking for its simple and extraordinary performance. You can get VLC player from here.
