It's pretty silly how i manage to not use this player before. Well Since i've used mplayer as my 2ndary player, 1st is K-lite codec pack. I find this pretty good. It plays all the formats that i needed. P.S: VLC just doesn't cut out. I highly recommend this.

I used many video players in the past including VLC and stuck with SMPlayer in the end. Well the best way to find out is to try it out.

It seems that SMPlayer 0.6.7 comes with a different installer than previous versions of SMPLayer. Older versios of SMPlayer and additional codec packages installed from Inno Setup installers. The SMPlayer 0.6.6 or older installation would be updated by the additional codec package installalations (in addition to installing the addition codecs). SMPlayer 0.6.7 uses a Nullsoft Scriptable Install Script (NSIS) installer and includes the ability to install the addition codecs, but does not include the additional codecs components. The additional codecs would be downloaded from the Internet and installed by the NSIS installer. This means that an Internet connection is necessary to easily fully install and uninstall SMPlayer 0.6.7. The new difficulty regarding the installation of the additional codecs for SMPlayer 0.6.7 significantly, negatively affects the desirability of the newer version; fully installing the newer SMPlayer product has become more expensive.

At least that's what I got from the option that I did not see before there. Not sure if I overlooked it and if it is the same codec package though.

As of the update to the http://smplayer.sourceforge.net/downloads.php page with the release of SMPlayer 0.6.7, the codec package is no longer listed for download. It is unclear as to why the codec package listing was removed after SMPlayer 0.6.7. I first found out about SMPlayer from Martin’s article at:

I have DVD files stored in directories. I can open a .vob file, but now I would like to click a button to see the DVD menu. Seems I can't find a button to do this. Can this player be used as a DVD player or not? If so, where is the menu button? I downloaded this just now for the first time. I have DVD files stored in directories.
