VLC - Is it worth it still?
f0dder:
I tend to use Media Player Classic - Home Cinema. It's UI in unobtrusive, it handles the file formats I need, it has some GPU acceleration support, and I don't need to install any of those nasty destabilizing codec packs.
Once in a blue moon I come upon something that's been encoded queerly or has some weird subtitle sync problems, which VLC might handle better... but that's not very often.
Oh, and most of the time I use my HD TV Live box instead - that's such a sweet little piece of hardware :-*

VLC on linux gets my anime and vids going. No complaints.
Crush:
I still use VLC, because it has some nice features like the realtime video transform & streaming, but a few months ago I found a new one.
More and more I now use SVP and the player MPC (as fodder posted). I so get a much higher quality of playback with additional risen video frequency.
J-Mac:
As for audio output being sub par, I wouldn’t know as I use it only for video. I use MediaMonkey Gold for my music, and it sounds just fine for me! It's output is to my computer speakers which is a set of Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 and it does fine for that. 8)

If you already use MMG for your music, with the codecs installed, it becomes quite good for managing everything...
