AV Harware and Software

[VVVACCPLPNLY]

So, I'd like to learn a bit about what different people use for audio and video players and such, as well as programs for running/editing that stuff. I know a lot of people here are big into it, so I figure we should have some discussion about it. Me, i use a PSP for all video and gaming. I don't have pc so I can't run prgrams. But yeah, what do you use? How well does it work?

I generally use VLC Media Player for all kind of AV files. Also photoshop cs 5 for editing the images. I would like to know if any other better software is available.

Never used Sony Vegas before. What's your review about it?

I use Sony Vegas. It is not the easiest editing program, but it is VERY powerful once you learn how to use it, and more importantly, is very stable compared with the other programs I have used.

As for playing back video files, I use many. Divx Plus, VLC, Window Media Player. I have not found one that plays everything perfectly. For instance VLC is the only one that consistently plays back subtitles correctly, but it screws up on playing back some videos WMP handles with easily.

mpc is Media Player Classic which can be used for audio-video files and winamp is specially used for mp3 files.
