Zoomplayer alternatives?

[David Richardson]

I was reading some reviews of Zoomplayer and many were saying that the
interface and option levels were complicated and that the most common
alternative was media player classic. Can anyone comment as to why MPC
doesn't qualify for Pricelessware? or what good alternatives are. (See
below sig for details)

Have been using zoomplayer and multimedia classic for a while now. Both
are pretty easy to use. Zoomplayer has more settings but only if you go
for an explore and like to tinker. The only issue with zoomplayer is if,
you try and play a file which it wont play without tinkering/or adding a
codec. Thats when it gets a bit complicated.

It's one of the only players needed with plug ins installed.
