K-Lite Mega Codec Pack truly ftw. Meh, if it doesn’t have Real and Quicktime and also doesn’t install browser plug ins I see no reason to use it other than that it looks pretty.

I did look around for comparisons on the two applications and I saw someone say that "GOM plays some files that VLC couldn't" and someone else that said "GOM is like a lite version of VLC". So it sounds like it is a media player that is small and quick but may lack some of the extensive features that VLC has. However, you may also find that one of the players will play a video that the other one can't. It's always good to have alternatives.

And the skins are nicer then vlc, and it remembers more things than vlc does, like last played file, and where you were up-to in the file.

If so, does it also integrate those codecs with Firefox? I currently use the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack which uses Media Player Classic to play everything, and also installs Quick Time and Real plug-ins to Firefox without having to install Apple and Real's bloated players. On another note, does anyone know of any way to get plug-ins/codecs for Firefox without installing them - are they just files I could stick in my user profile the same way I can with Winamp?

Much better than Real Player or even Media Player. I did have to download a Codec to play MPEG-2 files, but that was fairly painless but interesting. Thank you Ryan this is a great program!
