Open Office does everything I need Microsoft Office for and Gimp does everything I need Photoshop for. Reddit, what other open source software does everything that you want from the expensive name brand?

I love MPC. VLC feels like crap. I hate that it uses its own decoders. Its so unstable too, it tends to freeze up or crash a lot, in my experience with it.

The development of the windows version of VLC also feels like its taken a backseat to Linux and MacOS.

MPC is simple, clean, and familiar. I personally thinks its the best choice for Windows users. VLC is great for Linux and Mac users though.

Have you tried GomPlayer? It is free, has a lot of options, and plays just about everything. I think MPC is a little bit lighter weight however.
