To date, I've always just used VLC but recently I've been wondering if other players might offer a higher quality of video playback. Do they all just play video the same or do different players have different technology which might enable them to play higher quality video?   | ||

The best Media Player imo is Daum Potplayer. It has auto de-interlacing, The size of the player stays the same no matter what resolution the video is. You could change gamma settings on the fly to make the video darker/brighter. It has hotkeys setup throughout the keyboard. BUT, it's in korean. | ||

I have a question too, might be a bit offtopic but w/e. is it possible with ANY player (preferably VLC) to have the video playing in original resolution but with a black border around it which fills out the screen? so that u have just the video in the middle in original resolution and around it its dark and there is nothing else. kind of like the "lights off" youtube mode, but without the browser and so on obv.^^ | ||

The CCCP codec pack is a must as mentioned above. I also use VLC for the times when MPC fails to read the video files(which is not often). If you're not good with a computer, be careful when touching the advanced options(FFDShow and FFDAudio). I didn't understand half of them and default is usually good enough anyway. | ||
