    I have VLC Media Player and Media Player Classic installed on my computer, but I prefer Media Player Classic because of its smaller size. Today, about an hour ago, I tested both using a Nasa HD video clip called STS-116. VLC Media Player struggled (pausing several times) with this movie while Media Player Classic breezed through it. For now, it's definitely Media Player Classic for me.
