1114920 2010-07-01 03:54:00 VLC is quite handy, it handles damaged video files a lot better than most other players. tweak'e (69)
1114921 2010-07-01 04:03:00 VLC, stuff WMP- it never plays anything.

actually, with the K-Lite pack added, WMP will play just about anything now... including MPG-4, FLV etc


Of course, VLC is a great player tho
