What is the best media player to view hi-definition video? I've just hooked my computer up to my TV, so was just wondering whether there was any recommended software to use. I've always used VLC media player, mainly because it tends to play anything.

If your computer has a good video card then u can use free players like KMPlayer or Media Player Classic with latest codec packs else use Pro players from Arcsoft/Corel/Cyberlink. Your Blu-Ray drive would have come with a software player from one of them. That should be good enough.

I've mostly used Media Player Classic - this is a all-in-one package which works really well and comes with Media Player Classic;

from my experience, VLC was great handling different codecs, and everything thrown at it, but it doesn't handle HD videos too well. I've been primarily using WMP 64bit and Media Player Classic and Media Center(win7RC).

use this if you have 64bit system. it's a 2 step procedure. works well.

I still can't get WMP/MediaCenter to handle FLAC audio files properly.

Without any third party codecs, they both play FLAC but don't support tags. I installed WMPTagSupport and now it shows the tags, but doesn't play the files...hah. This previously worked in WMP11.
