VLC 0.9.9: The best media player just got better

Frankly the only reason I use it is because I don't know any better player. Not because it is that great. Any tips for good windows players?

Windows Media Player + KLite Codec Pack is great.

Yes, I know. WMP. It's really not that bad - what really matters are the codecs & AV processors in the background.

I prefered Media Player Classic in combination with the Combined Community Codec Pack on Windows (Download: http://www.cccp-project.net/)

CCCP is a must. I like Zoomplayer, but that's more personal preference.

I use GOM player, the good the thing about GOM is that it supports external codecs along with it internal ones too, unlike VLC. So you can use the CCP with this too, although they provide most of the codecs.

The external codec thing is a benefit for me because I use the CoreAVC codecs to play H.264 encoded files which have huge resolution (1080p) on my old PC. Methinks VLC should also allow external codecs.
