	Personally I really want to know what people are using and if my opinion is one sided. It would be nice to see what the community as a whole thinks and not just a few people.

 I removed '''Recommended''' from K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. I can understand why the Lite pack would be recommended but not the Mega Codec Pack since it has a ton of unnessesary codecs. [[User:Deimon|Deimon]] 13:00, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

 Out of curiosity, is the player labeled as KMPlayer intended to be [http://kmplayer.kde.org/ Konqueror Media Player (KMPlayer)] or [http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/index.php The KMPlayer]? I honestly don't know if the first runs MKV files or not. It's not listed on the wikipedia MKV page as one that can run them, but that is, in fact, a wiki so it could be wrong. I personally use the second to play files now, and have found it to be fairly impressive.

 Konqueror Media Player is for KDE, not Windows.  I've never heard of this other KMPlayer before now, but it's unrelated to the KDE one. -iddqd

	Anyway, in hindsight, perhaps MPlayer is better where it is. The emphesis on keyboard control over menus is sure to confuse people who are only familiar with standard Windows players.

	Not going off-topic or anything, I just wanted to correct my statement. I meant less selections of one choice makes it all much easier. Instead of having many things to choose (think of the page not categorized in recommended / normal / not recommended), the end-time user have a much easier choice if we limit down the selection to a minimum in the recommended category. That way, the average user only have to read through the few recommened players and take one which fits him, making his choice much easier, instead of making him read through all pages, which exists, of info on all of the players, and finally decide on a player. Sorry for my bad english which surface sometimes. :P If you look for it in IRL you'll see that this ~~"fact" (or rule, dunno what to call it)~~ exists almost anywhere, making everything easier for the user/customer/whatever to buy/choose (or whatever they do) from a short list, instead of putting them in the position to choice from multiple selections, from which they have almost no experience from or information. I guess this went off-topic... --[[User:Deimon\|Deimon]] 15:16, 10 September 2008 (UTC)		Not going off-topic or anything, I just wanted to correct my statement.

	Maybe because it's a fact that less multiple choices makes a better and easier life? As CCCP only includes Zoom and MPC I guess that's why those are the only ones recommended, but you might be right to put MPlayer as a recommended as well since it's a cross platform player. --[[User:Deimon\|Deimon]] 07:28, 7 September 2008 (UTC)		Maybe because it's a fact that less multiple choices makes a better and easier life?
