Linux,
Windows
On the webpage of
Netscape some alternative video- and audio players. We all know the 'Windows Media Player', but this player uses a lot of system resources.
The players listed below use in most instances minimal resources.
Take note, not all listed players support Linux or Mac.
XMMS - X Multi Media SystemWebsiteXMMS is like Winamp. This palyer uses the same skins, same hotkeys and so on as Winamp.
I use this player for mp3s and other audio files. It's a very good thing.
VLC Player - VideoLAN Player (Linux/Windows)WebsiteI use this player for all my multimedia things but not for mp3s.
This player supports or have also a firefox, mozilla and netscape plugin for webbased videos and films.
FooBar2000 (Windows only)WebsiteIs only available for Windows. But it supports a lot of video formats.
AVS DVD Player (Windows only)WebsiteA small and simple video player that also plays dvds.
BS Player (Windows only)WebsiteSupports Divx-, DVD-, a lot of Audio formats. You can also download some new skins and so on.
The Core DVD Media Player (Windows only)WebsiteThis player is like the 'BS Player' but here you can also download some output- and other plugins.
so, try it and have a lot of fun!
