Anyone used Mplayer?
It's like K-lite codec pack but without the codecs.
Just one executor file. (Portability -Which is why i choose it)

I have a big problem.
It can't play any video files with chinese characters as their filename.
But if i wanna play it, it has to be renamed into alphabetical.

Anyone can help?

So.. I also wanted portability

Added on April 26, 2009, 10:15 pmYou got me thinkin'

I think i have a good set-up of
portability and functionality minus the bloated size.

I use Portable MPC HC
http://portableapps.com/node/15030


And to play Real formats such as the popular .rmvb, and some more uncommon formats that MPC can't play,
i download the codec packs from here
Yeah. It's from Mplayer's site.
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/


From all the list i picked

for real formats

Windows essentials

Go to D:\portableapps\MPC-HCPortable\App\MPC-HC\
delete all the files except mplayerc.exe and or mpciconlib.dll (icon files). This saves few mb's
Note: the files deleted are language files. I don't need them for an English only installation.

If you want to save more space, then you can delete the
D:\portableapps\MPC-HCPortable\Other
D:\portableapps\MPC-HCPortable\help.html

3. Download a codec pack that will play the file types that you have.
I used the "win essentials" codec pack, but you can use any codec that will play the file types that you have. If your K-Lite pack has the same files as I have listed in my previous post then just copy them over as in step 4 below.

4. Extract the codecs & copy them into the following directory.

D:\portableapps\MPC-HCPortable\App\MPC-HC\

Note: the codecs are going to where mplayerc.exe is so that the program can find & use the codecs. (all the .dll's should be in one folder only. )

You can do a search on the net for a program called "Universal Extractor" which allows you to extract files from programs without installing them. http://www.portablefreeware.com/?sc=124&p=2

If you want a smaller installation, then you can use appcompactor
http://portableapps.com/apps/utilities/appcompactor

to shrink the files.
However, only shrink the files & directories in \App & below. Do not shrink the launcher program (D:\portableapps\MPC-HCPortable\MPC-HCPortable.exe) otherwise the program will not start.

From Mplayer to MPC HC.

Real Alternative.

+ VLC player.

But i still like my newest set up. (previous page)

I see.

But for me.. It still can't play .rmvb files.

(Might be previous last update.)
And still.. I think VLC is a tad too bloated for my liking.
