So... i opened this topic because there are many players out there, im not sure which one should i get.

(Im not talking about the programs ( vlc, classic media player, bsplayer, etc, or the portable players with the little screen!!! I want to get a desktop player)

( sorry guys but i thought the word "desktop" is clear enough... if not then i dont know how to describe the player what you put on the table...)

There are many different ones:
plays from dvd
streaming wireless from your computer
or you have to hook it up with a hdd or usb device.

im looking for one which plays dvd, because i have many burnt dvd's full with movies.
i need subtitles, so if the player knows srt, sub, ssa and txt thats a plus point.

some of them plays HD content which is also good. but i dont use them, because usually i put 3-4 movies on 1 dvd...

i have an old xbox and its my second one. the first died and this ones starts to do weird things.

For me the best would be something which plays dvd and stream wireless from pc or i can hook up an usb device, hdd.
supports divx, ogg, mkv, hd wmv ( some anime comes in mkv or ogm format only
subtitles : srt, sub ( maybe txt)
and good support ( firmware upgrades...)
i was thinking about this one which is cheap

i use this program to watch dvd's on my computer

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

 

I watch a lot of anime on my laptop and they come in different file types. i usually use media player classic and codecs from CCCP, but if it doesn't work right, i use zoomplayer. For DVDs i use JetAudio. Im not sure about streaming

 

I use the gom player

 

VLC.... discussion over.

 

I use VLC also. Great app

 

I had issues w/ VLC not playing audio on some but never had a problem w/ GOM.

 

VLC it's the best.

The only thing that blows is the audio, but it does go up to 200%

 

ok.. then... i have to ask someone who speaks english properly because as i see i dont know how to speak.......

pls read me first comment....

"Im talking about the desktop players.. not programs on your computer or the portable ones with the built in screen.)"

 

hahaha, we have like 2 panasonic ones, don't know the model right now, but sometimes it doesn't play the burnt movies on dvds. Like one movie would work, but then another movie would be choppy and laggy ___ hell. I mainly use my xbox 360 as I haven't had any problems with any burnt dvds/cds.

 

uhm... yeah.. thats why i didnt buy these panasonic dvd player with divx support.

xbox 360? as far as i know the only way to watch divx on them is streaming.. no? and and subtitles are not supported


btw please help me out here... isnt the word "desktop" means something which is not portable or a software but something what you can grab and put it on the table.. on the desk.. (next to your tv)

 

bump... nobody has home divx players?
