SPlayer 3.4
Agree with Marungadzinnevhelaho. Development of KMplayer has slowed down in the last year but it is still the best one out there.
CDex 1.70 beta 3
Wow,after years a new beta... Thought the development had stopped long ago but what a nice surprise it didnt. Great.
After i changed my OS from XP 32Bit to 7 64Bit im looking for a comfortable and stable audiograbber and this is it. I checked EAC and Bonkenc before i stumbled over this new beta of CDex.
Both programms have their flaws and instabilities that CDex simply not has. So far this is the best grabber i could my hands lay on. Bonkenc has three realy anyoing issiues that stopped me from using it:
1. i couldnt save my preferred settings for the lame encoder.
2. a audiocd is often not recognized if i put it in the drive after i opened the program
3. access to CDDB was a thing of luck.
In Cdex is can save my whole settings in a profile,a cd is always recognized and the access to CDDB is stable.
EAC was fine under XP but at least on my sys to unstable for practical use. Im sure both developers,for bonkenc and for eac get those issiues fixed in the future but so far the CDex is simply the best solution for me.

CyberLink BD / HD Advisor 1.0.0912 beta
Sorry to say,but this is simply PR born BS.
You are more than right.What you download here IS NOT A CODEC!!! Its a bullshit of software, cheap PR trick. Its a fraud, not a codec.
Media Player Classic 6.4.8.9
MPC is still the best free allround Videoplayer but the KM-Player comes very close and looks better (Winamp 5 alike)
MediaCoder 0.3.6 build 1560
Run into trouble converting Xvid > SVCD,wrong AR and distorted sound. GUI is not intuitiv and flexible enough. Needs some work. Will check it out past V 0.5
