Hardware

VideoLAN recently released version 1.0.3 of their VLC media player for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, BeOS, Syllable, and Linux. Other operating systems are supported only with the sourcecode.

VLC is a free multimedia player supporting most audio and video formats (DivX, MPEG-2, mp3, MPEG-4, aac, wma, wmv, etc.) from files, physical media, and network streaming protocols. It can also convert media files and act as a streaming server/client. Since version 1.0.0 Blu-Ray content is supported as well.

A very nice player, but The KMPlayer is still the best media player.

Fixed that for you.

VLC = the best by miles tbh.
VLC

You guys probably never tried KMPlayer

Much better interface and it also has all the codecs integrated, as VLC.

It also infringes tons of licenses

Who cares, since it's free

The individual project members that put all their effort into it do for sure.

lol /care tbh.
I'm just an 'ignorant' computer user. If i see something for free, i see no reason not to use it when it works great.

Since windows 7 has its own hardware (rendered) codecs, you do not want to screw them with software codecs used by other media players, which will overwrite the hardware codecs. VLC has its own (still software though) codecs and won't change anything for any other media programs which use hardware codecs (like windows media player) I also use media player classic, but without the codecs.
