Media Player Classic is a compact free software media player for Microsoft Windows. The application has a similar look and feel to the old light-weight Windows Media Player 6.4. Underneath, however, it is a completely different application which has all the options and features one might expect from a modern media player.
This player is capable of VCD, SVCD and DVD playback, without the need to install any additional software or codecs. Media Player Classic has built-in codecs for MPEG-2 video with support for subtitles and codecs for LPCM, MP2, AC3 and DTS audio. It also contains an improved MPEG splitter that supports subtitles on SVCDs and supports direct playback of VCDs and SVCDs using its VCD/SVCD/XCD Reader. On October 30, 2005 Gabest added *.mp4 and MPEG-4 Timed Text support. An AAC decoding filter has been present in MPC for a while, which makes MPC suitable for AAC playback in mp4.
Media Player Classic is primarily based on the DirectShow architecture, and therefore automatically uses installed DirectShow decoding filters. For instance, after the open source DirectShow decoding filter ffdshow has been installed, fast and high quality decoding and postprocessing of the DivX, Xvid, H.264 and Flash Video formats is available in MPC.
In addition to DirectShow, MPC can also use the QuickTime and the RealPlayer architectures (if installed on the computer) to play their native files.

My primary video player. Media Player Classic + ffdshow, MatroskaSplitter, VSFilter, QTlite, real alternative, and it plays most videos I throw at it. All this and only less than 5 megabytes.
An great video player that even has subtitle streaming from your preferred source.
Light + simple + Powerful
The Best
The best (w/CCCP all the way).
Classic interface with powerful features under the hood.
It works well and has a simple uncluttered interface.
Only thing that might be better is VLC.
Best player for windows!
MPC + CCCP = excellent!
Best HDTV Player (CCCP Codecs are great too)
with a good codec pack it can play mostly everything. A powerfull tool packed in small size
Kind on your resource, can play almost anything provided you have the right codec and oh, that thumbnail feature? I am sucker for that! :D
Best overal media player, doesn't support .mkv containers but hey, VLC works fine then.
