EXORZIST It's a nice application to play movies. It's very fast and responsive. I tested it with various files. It also has a "Desktop Background" feature, but the icons on the desktop are un-clickable, so it's not so much fun to use it while working. I hope that will change. You can also setup the fullscreen-transition, so it can go instantly-, fade- or zoom- into fullscreen.
One feature I would really like to see is a "fullscreen-movie-wall" function, which would play 1...16 or more movies at once. This could provide some very artistic possibilities. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no other player out with a feature like that, not even a commercial one(?). Killer-app-potential? (Version 0.6.4)
ROBOTANK I'd never even heard of this player before today, and I must say I'm quite impressed. It's got a sleek interface, lots of options, handles a wide range of file formats, and feels more responsive than any other player I have. It also handles MKV files better. I'm definitely going to give this a try as my default player for a while. (Version 0.6.4)
CINDI168 This is a great piece of software, it's much faster than vlc and the interface is much sleeker. However, I just updated to 0.6.2 and i was watching a xvid .avi file and the sound was choppy but the video was fine; i then used vlc to play the file and it played just fine. I wondered if the issue was only present in 0.6.2, so i reverted bak to 0.6.1 and the problem was gone. (Version 0.6.2)
TRANCE once again audio with wmv using ffmpeg is broken with 0.6.2 .....this seems to be a recurring theme and something you'd think they would have found the source of the problem previously (Version 0.6.2)
