Good movie player?
Does anyone know of a good movie player, other than M$ Media Player? The M$ one keeps freezing on me...and its really starting to get on my nerves! I've tried a few of them, but they all seem to rely on the same stuff as the M$ one, i.e freezing after about 10 seconds of the movie :(

Anyone?

Thanks

Maybe you should try downloading more up-to-date codecs?

Porn movies are often corrupt.

I've tried them all, for image & sound quality re movie trailers - providing you have the bandwidth - the best by far is QuickTime 5.

Quicktime: http://www.apple.com/quicktime (the pro version is worth it but the freebie works fine).

Great trailer resource: http://www.apple.com/trailers

...and I'm not a mac user.
