Jesus Christ posted:Oh yah! I was thinking of MPC. Is that still updated? It's MPC-HC now. They said last year's version was gonna be the final version, but it's pretty solid on my PC. Beats the hell out of dealing with a new and different set of Kodi bugs for each of my Android devices, anyway.

quicktime WAS cool back in 1991 when seeing a postage-stamp size 10-second video clip on your very own computer!!! was impressive it hasn't really needed to exist since then though

I use mpv now. It sounds like a sexually transmitted disease, but it’s good. I still load up QuickTime every now and then for iPhone screen mirroring, so it’s alright and can stay.

Try Netscape Navigator. It works best on an Emachines rig.

Jesus Christ posted:It's kinda funny going back and watching some old shows I pirated right here on these very forums back then like MXC or Kenny vs Spenny. The quality is absolutely abysmal by modern standards but back then it was utterly amazing after having lived with RealPlayer and QuickTime for so long.

But I remember people going full on frenzied for multimedia PC's to play them because they came on a shiny disk, and it was kinda depressing - pixelated, on tiny PC monitors with MPEG cards and such. They were totally lame. GRINDCORE MEGGIDO fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Feb 16, 2018 |

it never took off huge in North America like it did in other countries, consumer CD-R tech dissuaded it from the NA market over piracy concerns but it flourished elsewhere, where DVD was prohibitively expensive. I remember hole in the wall vendors in MTL Chinatown were still selling vcds until recently, maybe still are. if I recall correctly PS1 playback was model limited, or required a specific hardware dongle, otherwise was the domain of ultra nerds with stolen dev tools to convert to their proprietary .str video with interleaved .xa audio on top of writing a player in C, but the other consoles were more chill about it (and permissive consumer players & computers of course, not really interested in that so much tho). I think... Jihad? gently caress idk. can’t remember. had a scene release of The Mummy on PS1 way back in the day. but yeah, now with superior compression over the last few years you could get some half decent quality on a CD-R but why bother lol

real media was good for what it was. it was a trade off of quality and space, but you could watch your shows at < 1/10th the file size vs something proper. if you had a toaster of a computer with a garbage connection then you could put up with trash

QuickTime was great back in 2001 when I got to watch an airplane smash into a skyscraper on loop

Video quality was junk.....but it was cool to have that option.
