i wanna add to the list

vlc player: for *almost* all format going player
download it here highly recomended by me

[k3nni]

i would also suf=ggest the VLC Player, it plays everything but rm.

[noctivagant]

if those interested in subtitles, you can rip subtitles using VobSub

Vobsub (latest version : 2.23)
www.afterdawn.com/software/ video_software/subtitle_tools/vobsub.cfm
you will also need it to enable you to see subtitles in vids with subtitles support...
supported subtitles format are *.ssa, *.vob, *.srt, *.sub

OGG Directshow Filter (latest version : 0.9.9.6... though version 0.9.9.5 is deemed more stable)
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...ow_Filters.htm

some vids are in the *.ogm extension, you will need this codec... also, some vids with subtitles are in this format... so this OGG format vids might also require VobSub, but it is not always so

Do anybody know how to play the ogm. and mkv. anime. i tried to look for codec but no luck.
please help me.

[darren42]

try the CCCP codec pack, it should be all u need

[deveant]

Yeah that pack plays most anime, though not all, so i was wondering is there any Pack that pretty much does play all? Its really anoying having like 20 Codecs all installed on my PC, makes it harder for me when i re-format.

[darren42]

no one codec plays all files. just find a group of codecs that will allow you to play all the files you will ever use and stick with them

[therabbit]

I'm a noob when it comes to this sort of thing, but what player should I use to play the rm files, such as those for .hack//LotTB? I downloaded them, and all I got were these HTML things, and I can't figure out how to play them.

Search google for Real Alternative. Download it, and use the real player that is included in the package.
