'The KMPlayer' is still the best video player in my opinion

#3.1 Gladiatorus on 29 Jul 2009 - 17:52

I agree

the .99 to 1.0 upgrade was a vast improvement on my system.

I found .99 better to be honest. Half the time 1.0 doesn't even load the videos for me, i have to kill the process and try again. Hopefully 1.0.1 will fix this issue for me.

Ooh, flash and mpg seeking AND Mac improvements -- downloading

Not bad for a "minor" release.

I don't get the "wmv support" part though, I definitely thought it had it before?

#5.1 +omganinja on 29 Jul 2009 - 05:44

It played wmvs before but without "support" maybe?

Does it still show blocky videos on Windows 7?

#6.1 +omganinja on 29 Jul 2009 - 05:43

Its never displayed videos incorrectly in windows 7 for me.

I'll try it when I get home. I was getting the blockiness too. The same video on KMPlayer looks perfect.

yes it does. do you have an aticar also?

Thought it was just me, I couldn't find anyone on google talking about this. I used an older "unsupported" windows version of the ati drivers which worked fine.

When viewing FullHD content with VLC (at least in 1.0.0 and 1.0.1), you may need to right click the video windows and select Video - Interlace - Discard to improve (a lot) the quality of the playback.

If you don't, the video will be a little grainy.

1.0 broke wmv (audio stutters) for me so i went back to 0.9.9. hopefully, 1.0.1 fixes the problem with wmv.

#9 veegun on 30 Jul 2009 - 02:42

yay! 1.0.1 fixes the audio stuttering problem in wmv!
