So I installed it and gave it a go, and within the first few minutes, I got extremely impressed by it!.

It had a look at some of its screenshots and to my surprise, it looked almost like ‘KMPlayer’, later only to realize that it actually is being developed by the ‘KMPlayer’ developers. So, not that I ever thought that I’d find a replacement for it -), but out of my frustration, yesterday I Googled ‘replacement for KMPlayer’ and came up with another one called ‘PotPlayer’. This wasn’t surprising either, because according to my experience, ‘KMPlayer’ is not the most durable/robust one out there. Anyhow, from recently, I’ve been having some playback & video rendering issues with ‘KMPlayer’ under Windows 8.

I’ve also used ‘Media Player Classic’ (comes with ‘KLite-Codec pack’), though I have a tremendous respect for it, I just can’t stand its ugly user interface. It can play almost any audio/video codec, has a beautiful UI, comes with a huge number of options, completely free, one couldn’t ask for more :D. For years, ‘KMPlayer’ has been my favorite media player under MS Windows.
