Favorite Media Player

I use the Chiyo-Chan Cute Player. I'm in no way an expert at Codecs. So I am grateful I have yet to have any problems with my player on my Windows 7 32bit system.

I've been using MPC-HC for a long time but recently it started artifacting so badly on higher quality videos that it is almost useless to me now, even after I reinstalled klite and did some video card driver updates. My other problem with it is on lower quality videos (480p) the audio is terrible. I don't like that trade off.
I'm now back to using VLC and hoping that I don't have the subtitle problems that caused me to stop using it a few years back.
Regardless, its almost time for a new computer so I'm not gonna worry about it.

For SD content/DVDrips/TVrips/music I use WMP12 + ffdshow + haali + vsfilter + some other directshow filters (for FLAC/APE/etc.) and with the media foundation disabled. This way I can use the audio mixer in ffdshow to deliver sound to all my 10 speakers without using the 'speaker fill' option in the sound card's settings app (which sounds horrible/distorted). Also the media library in WMP12 looks good after you make ID3 tags for all your music files and add the album art (even if it took me 2 weeks for ~1650 albums).
For HD content I use MPC-HC+madVR+ffdshow+haali+vsfilter. madVR is the best-looking renderer out there (and the most resource-hungry one), if you connect the PC to an external projector / big plasma or LCD screen you'll see the difference. vsfilter because the internal subtitle renderer in MPC-HC doesn't work on madVR, and ffdshow's sucks at rendering karaoke/vertical text/typesetted signs.

Just tested mplayer from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html . Not worth the time, lagging in 1080p while using below 50% on one core...
