text: is there a program that i could watch literally any format of video with and create playlists? i have no cable right now, but i do have alot of video files, i have a dual monitor set-up and i'm using vlc right now, but once in a while it crashes and can't play real media files.  i need another solution.  i like to have the other monitor play video files non-stop 24-hours a day. the problem is not so much the player you have as the codecs you have installed on your system (i'm presuming win xp). i installed this codec pack :  http://www.free-codecs.com/download/xp_codec_pack.htm and was able to play most video formats with any player. i havn't tried quicktime files yet, i think they would be different
