Winamp will play most videos that I throw at it. But when it won't, I go to
VLC. I don't know if the latest version is accessible. If it isn't, I can
send you an older version that is. Haven't used Foobar in a long time. It
was accessible. Don't think it can play as many filetypes as VLC.

Subject: Foobar or VLC?
Hello everyone. I'm very fond of Winamp: love the interface, the design,
etc...however I am becoming exasperated with attempting to play videos
with it particularly, and it always seems that there's something wrong
with the codecs, or that yet another in the overwhelming line of video
formats won't play properly, or that some plugin has a nonstandard
interface that won't really work properly with my screenreader (jaws 11).
I'm thinking of trying out these two players...VLC I already know works
great for videos of all sorts; Foobar comes highly recommended, has a
supposedly text-based interface and apparently allows you to set up
global hotkeys which you can use to control the programme from any window,
which I really like. Just wondering if any other screenreader users
particularly have experience with those and have any tips to offer me
before I dive in, etc. Don't really have a lot of time to tinker endlessly
with stuff so I'd appreciate any advice..what works, what doesn't, and so
on.
Thanks.
