I shifted to KMPlayer. Pretty good. My default video player now.

KM player is the best alternative for VLC player but KM Player has the annoying browser at start up

I have disabled all that shit using the hosts trick.
Just add the below line to your hosts file (C:WindowsSystem32driversetc) and all will be good

127.0.0.1 player.kmpmedia.net

Use KM player 3.6.0.87 last version w/o any ads or bloatware crap.
personally i prefer zoom player 8.7. pretty fast & responsive

Yup. 64 bit works as good as 32. no hiccups.
You have to install the 64 bit installer for it.

ok, does it use less cpu power playing HD content ?

So what’s the status of the port of VLC to “WinRT”? Here’s what the team now has going for with VLC:

Support for all usual VLC formats, including MKV and FLAC
Audio
Video, (with correct aspect ratios)
Basic subtitles support
File and network stream support
A simple, but working UI
Passing the WACK certification
Working on Windows 8 and 8.1

That means a Windows Phone version might be the last piece of the puzzle to fall. They don’t anticipate a lot of extra API work for the Windows Phone version, but do suspect they’ll need to address file management and adapt the basic UI.

I dont understand why they mentioned Windows 8. I already have VLC player in my Win 8.1 laptop. I guess they meant Win RT tablets. Good news for Windows Phone though
