Video player is the most essential  part of any operating system . When we look at windows history all media players are worst (in my view). Now I am using windows 8 Pro with media center unfortunately still windows default media player sucks ! . so we have to find alternatives to Play our digital media . The main reason is there is no native support for many popular Codecs . So we need to install many type of codes to play different media formats . K-Lite Codec Pack is one of the best codes collection and simple to install and use.

Many of the video players also support simple playback of a digital audio and 3D playback of the 2D video. Video Players are most important for our PC to listen music and watch videos, movies. There are various video players. But Most Players are giving very basic  playback options. Some Media players improve the sound but not that smooth HD video playback .Here is my favorite video Player collection . Let’s discuss about, which is the best player among these..
