MPlayer

Nice player compatible with the majority of formats.

Windows includes a default media player that we can use to enjoy our music, video and films, but it has one major flaw, it requires a lot of system resources, making it practically impossible to leave other processes finishing in the background, like burning a CD/DVD or transcoding a series of files, while we use the media player.

  If you are looking for a media player that is as light as possible, but at the same time offers us compatibility with all the current formats, you can try MPlayer. This application is compatible with MPEG, VOB, AVI, OGG/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV, QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM and Matroska, as well as VCD, SVCD, DVD and Blu-Ray. It also offers support for any codec you have installed on your computer and more that 10 different types of subtitles.

  MPlayer doesn't have a GUI and it is controlled from the command line using the keyboard, so it is highly recommendable to have a look at the help file (that is included) before launching the application.

  Another thing that works in this applications favor is that is doesn't need installation, so all you have to do is decompress the ZIP file that contains the software, launch it and start watching your favorite films in a matter of seconds.

  Requirements: This download requires a ZIP compatible compressor.
