BSPlayer: The Best Desktop Video Player I've Seen!
Like some of you, I have my share of custom-ripped DivX video files (note: ripped from my own DVDs).
As far as desktop video players, WMP works fine for most of my videos. However, there are some videos in which the color reproduction is terrible (very noticeable color banding as if you're using a 8-bit display). Now the video player aptly titled DivX Player (which is made available through the DivX.com site) does a good job, unfortunately, it only plays provides very basic functionality (e.g. - no playlist support, limited playback controls, etc.)
After posting a question on the DivX.com boards, I was pointed to a freeware video player called BSPlayer, which can be found at BSPlayer.org.
Wow! 8O There are some cool features in this player!! It can play nearly every video type available; it supports playlisting; it ensures that the latest DivX codec is used in playback; there's an awesome "Desktop" mode in which the videos will play as a desktop wallpaper (not to be confused with a screensaver as this mode literally replaces your desktop background with the running videos); the video themselves plays with minimal borders. There's a ton of features I haven't even yet played around with yet and nearly all the features can be accessed through keyboard shortcut keys.
Best of all: it's FREEWARE!
For ANYONE who plays videos on their desktop/laptop. Check it out!!
