CoffeeFiend Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 PowerDVD is a player and a mpeg2 decoder. BSPlayer is just a player.I used both, but I voted other. Zoom Player is where it's at B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 BSPlayer all the way... I've been using it from years (yeah I remember seeing Gladiator movie with it).Takes less system resources than many more video players including PowerDVD and have double of posibilities.bsplayer+winamp it's my perfect team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCT Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 ya, im enjoying bsplayer, its good, & as u say, system resources is whats important (IMO) & it uses less then powerDVD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I was with PowerDVD, and still use that.But since the last 6 months, when BSplayer was being distributed along with "all-codecs" packs, I sort of got drawn towards it - simply because you could throw any media file at it, no matter what format, and it would play. But yeah, if this poll is about which one of the two you'd rather use to play a DVD, I'd prefer PowerDVD any day - simply because I received it bundled with my drive, with a proper key.

--=ddSHADOW=-- Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 BSPlayer all the way its no.1 for me and its from Slovenia like me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 I mean, BSPlayer isn't bad - but it's lacking all the nice options, customizations and extra features of Zoom Player. Ever peeked at the advanced options? You can even make custom filtergraphs in ZP (I use it all the time too). It's super powerful, nothing comes close to it. It also does DRM'ed WMV (ok, not the free version). I use it to play DVDs, mpeg4, and even my home made HD DVD's (else, if I keep the movie as .ts - then I use VLC). Among HTPC'ers, Theatertek is probably the second most popular player after ZP. The decoders from PowerDVD and WinDVD aren't bad - but I'm sticking to the new nvDVD 4 in a custom filtergraph (with nice ffdshow post processing and a couple directx filters for the audio too). Once you try that, I don't think you ever want to go back to anything else. (Oh, and girder to control ZP with remote control) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 Media = Media Player Classic (1.3 MB)Audio = 1By1 (46 kb)What do both of these have in common?1. They are both small in size.2. They don't install, they are simply exe's that you open and use. Simple as that. 1By1 is only for MP3s through so if you want multiple audio formats, this one's not for you.
