Best Video Player for Windows

May 10, 2017 10:48PM PDT

Definitely, you don’t have PC only for office works. PC is a machine which is made for multiple tasks. Watching a movie or any video on your Windows PC is definitely one of your tasks you perform on PC. You get an inbuilt video player in Windows but that video player really sucks. So I have a filtered list of the best video player for windows. I have also made a filtered list of best music player for Android. Read here.

If you are using the latest Windows – Windows 10 then either you are playing your video on Windows Media Player or movies and TV software of Windows. I think both software for Windows does not fulfill our criteria for playing videos. Many new users on Windows just ask their colleagues or friends or family members for best video player for windows but actually, they give true opinions only not correct opinions.

1.) VLC
2.) KM Player

I think besides VLC I want DVD and BluRay player software too. Here's what I posted about all this.

Read https://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-watch-dvds-for-free-in-windows-10/ for how you can get your FREE DVD and BLURAY player software.

We all know about VLC Player (or should) but what about BluRay? VLC Player can play unprotected BluRay but to date I've yet to encounter one of those.

This is especially great news for Windows 10 owners.

Remember my nod to ninite.com for VLC Player and why I give that nod.
