Media player quality comparison
Which media player looks best on my Windows Vista PC? To find out I did a comparison test. I used HyperCam 2 to record the results, and processed with VirtualDub 1.7.6, so the differences may not be as obvious after I upload this to youtube. To my eyes those media players appear to fit this quality ranking. 1. Media Player Classic = sharp and clear 2. ZOOM player 2. MPlayer 3. GOM = dull and washed out 4. VLC = dull and washed out Details. SQ = Youtube's Standard quality of 323 kbps 320 by 240 pixels mono HQ = Youtube's High Quality of 480 by 360 Phase -.- | Size -.-. | Codec -.-. | Audio | Bytes ----------|------------|----------------- ---|---------|-------------- Uploaded - | 480 by 360 | MPEG-4 XVID H.263 | no audio | 5,639,474 Youtube SQ | ?-?-?-? | ?-?-?-? | ?-?-?-?
