| 1132678 | 2010-08-28 23:19:00 | Hi Guys There are so many movie formats out there these days, and it seems that someone makes a new one every few weeks or so! I used to use Windows Media Player, Classic media Player and VLC, but that is a pain with all the file associations etc. Now that I have found Classic Media Players new version - Home Cinema, I am hoping to be able to just use this and remove the other two. What do you think ? |

| 1132679 | 2010-08-28 23:25:00 | Well you can remove VLC. But unless youre using Win7, you cant remove WMP. If Home Cinema gives you the option for whatever filetype, tick all of them. Then it'll open whatever | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1132683 | 2010-08-29 00:43:00 | I use Winamp for audio and VLC for Video. The interface for VLC is horrible for audio but great for video and vice versa for Winamp. |

| 1132686 | 2010-08-29 01:26:00 | Great replies guys. The reason I like Home Cinema (Classic Media Player) is that it has the option to print out thumbnails of a video. So I am hoping that I can just use Home Cinema, which means I need not install VLC on my new machine (one less complication). Not that I have anything against VLC. |
