I'm a video junkie - I watch all sorts of video, I make my own, encode my old tapes and back up DVDs on my computer. I like to put clips on my web site, too. The best format for clips on a website in my experience is Real Media. Windows Media is pretty close, but that's owned by Micro$oft so I try to stay away from it. The only problem with Real Media is that their players are always expiring and therefore you are forced to upgrade your player to the latest popup-ridden RAM-jamming nightmare version from Real Networks.
BUT NOW THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE.
And it's called Real Alternative. But really it's way more than that.
Okay, so I just upgraded to WindowsXP. I know, I'm trying to avoid M$ stuff, but those other OS's scare me... I'll try them out one day. ANYWAY, so I install XP and to be honest, it does pretty well. It's an obvious improvement over Win98 - a bigger improvement than 98 was over 95. But with XP came the latest version of Windows Media Player. I played one of my MPEG-2 files and it wouldn't play the file at it's proper resolution - and I couldn't figure out how to get it to play properly, either. Hell, I couldn't even figure out how to get it to admit what the proper resolution was! All it would tell me was the length of the file! STUPID...
But I had already downloaded Real Alternative and thought "Hey, why not see if Real Alternative can play anything else, aside from Real Media?"
Well, it CAN. Not only does it play Real Media, but it also plays DivX, MPEGs and OGMs. AND it tells you everything you need to know, too - like frame rate and everything else you might need. The only confusing thing is when you DL it, it's called "Real Alternative". When you install it, it ends up in your programs menu in the subsection caled "Real Alternative". But, when you pull up the player itself it calls itself "Media Player Classic" and resembles the interface of the original Windows Media Player from Win-duhs 98se.
So, I do a search and what do I find? A web page by a guy called Gabest - turns out, he programmed Media Player Classic and on his web site doesn't call it "Real Alternative" at all. I'm not sure what's going on, so I thought I'd email the guy and let him know what's up.
In the meantime, IT'S A GREAT FRIGGIN' PLAYER!! Blow off Windows Media Player and go with this baby!! IT ROCKS.
Download Media Player Classic from Sourceforge.net! (Scroll down a bit - there are a lot of files to DL on that page.)
And check out Gabest.org for the straight scoop on MPC.

ReplyDeleteI'm a Mackie and prefer QT, myself, but SHEESH!
ReplyDeleteThe above entry was actually written back during my days as a PC user. QT is definitely the superior format, but PCs don't encode it well. I suppose that now, thanks to the ViPod Apple will have to let them do a better job.
Personally, I would suggest using VLC Media Player for videos and Winamp 5.21 for songs. For VLC Media Player, visit www.videolan.org/vlc and for Winamp, visit www.winamp.com
