==A List of Commonly Used Players==<br />
<br />
;ALLPlayer (<span style="color:orange">Acceptable Player</span>): This player will utilize CCCP, but has a confusing interface and useless features. It is also rather homely. <br />
<br />
;BSPlayer (<span style="color:red">Bad Player</span>): We don't suggest anyone uses this player. It is filled with bugs. <br />
<br />
;Coreplayer (<span style="color:orange">Acceptable Player</span>): Developed by the same team that developed the CoreAVC codec. It does not uililize [[CCCP]], meaning it only uses internal filters. Also it will not render subtitles. <br />
<br />
;DivX Player (<span style="color:red">Bad Player</span>): This player is semi-compatible with [[CCCP]]. It will play MKV, OGM, and MP4 files, but it cannot play audio files. Not recommended for use. <br />
<br />
;FFPlayer (<span style="color:red">Bad Player</span>): Doesn't utilize vsfilter. <br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
;The Core Media Player (TCMP) (<span style="color:orange">Acceptable Player</span>): Not to be confused with the Coreplayer (see above). It will work fine if you don't use the included filters. <br />
<br />
;VLC Media Player (<span style="color:red">Bad Player</span>): This player supports nearly every media filetype one may encounter, but is not recommended for use. It does not utilize external codecs and has a slow, buggy interface. It also does not render subtitles correctly. <br />
<br />
;WinAmp 5 (<span style="color:orange">Acceptable Player</span>): Will work fine if configured correctly. Subtitles must be loaded manually. <br />
