Need a very good media player

17 years ago

I need a really good media player that can pause at the drop of a hat, has good slow motion, can convert file formats without messing up the sound to the video, very easy to understand and use and if you can make movies in it from clips, even better! I also would like the move the play bar foward or back while the video remains on the screen and it'll be able to move with the bar. I think like Quicktime.

I have windows media player, real player, videolan, and quicktime. I don't like any of them.

Thanks!

I do not think any exist exactly like you want.

My personal favorite is WinAmp Professional. They also have a free version.

It has almost all of the featurers you describe, however some of the more advanced features you mention, like file format conversion for instance, are usually only in stand-alone applications and media editing, mixing, and development suites.

One of the best solutions for the latter I have found that is very easy on the wallet is GoldWave. The raw power of this application is amazing for the relatively low cost making it an excellent choice for cost effectiveness and productivity combination.

Has anyone upgraded to MediaPlayer 11?
Q
Comments (15)
I upgraded from MediaPlayer 10 to 11 and was impressed with how much better it looked. Have done quite a few DVDs using Photo Story 3 for Windows and with the Media 10 it was great. Now I can run one Photo Story from the Media Player 11 and then it freezes. I have to do the control-alt-delete and then reboot. I can still play the music. but not the Photo Story. There is something I am doing wrong or something is missing, but can't figure it out. Can you help me? Have Windows XP, new custom-made computer. Thanks. Dora Lou

I guess I don't communicate well..... Zep- the wmp runtime is in my start/computer/add/remove. It looks like there are 2 parts when wmp is downloaded? randy- When you have your wmp going- and want to drag/drop a song from the left hand column(library), to the right hand column(sync)- there is a very small '+' sign when dragging the song- it is very little and stays with the song as you are dragging it. I reinstalled wmp again- now the '+' is working, but when I try to sync it, it 'fails/error', and does not sync. I have the song in a file, then it automatically goes to my library. But it doesn't 'load to the Sansa.

Do I need a Blu-ray player?
Q

You do not need a Blu-Ray DVD player, however, if you have a ten year old DVD player you will notice a difference with either a standard definition up-converting DVD player, or a Blu-Ray DVD player, which will up-convert standard definition DVDs to 720p/1080i/1080p standards through interpolation. Your television will also up-convert the standard definition signal, and look quite good, but the DVD player can perform a better conversion while the video is still in it's original MPEG2 video format. BTW - Quite a few of the older titles being released on Blu-Ray today are still only standard definition formats up-converted to HD formats by the studio prior to the Blu-Ray authoring of the disc - and basically using the same technology as your DVD player or television.

Digger got the Radio Shack alarm clock when I realized Jesse got one more present than she did....*ack*. Bose has a wonderful iPod dock but I just can't bring myself to spend that kind of money ($400) for music. Maybe when I get a raise? LOL We're going shopping tomorrow. I don't buy the kids clothes for Christmas but rather give them money. Then we go shopping the sales. The money goes farther that way and they are happier. I have 'old' taste you know......*frown* LOL Lori
