VLC, when codec were thé worst.
Absolutely VLC, VLC was excellent at what it does before codec issues were even that widespread.
Words cannot convey how sketchy the MP4 codec scene was, pirating media in the Windows XP era. Every month you'd have to find some DivX CCCP K-Lite [cracked].7zip.exe and roll the fuckin' dice.
We were very proficient at reinstalling our operating systems.
I definitely don't miss having to install codec packs.
omg, klite code pack with media player classic. You took me back
Media Player Classic still rules. Feature-rich with zero bullshit.
I've been using PotPlayer for a few years now, didn't even know MPC was still around
wouldnt this one really just be ffmpeg?
VLC does use ffmpeg (or more specifically, libavcodec) for some of its codecs, but it uses a bunch of other libraries as well, including VLC specific ones.
