What media players, if any, match the capability of the VLC player?

Deviant Audio: It seems to me that VLC is the most capable. It is very useful.

Media Player Classic. It looks like the old Windows Media Player, is really light and doesn't require an install (*very nice). I don't think it's being worked on any more by the original team but its still worked on independently by some other folks. Paired with a good set of codecs (like the K-lite packs), it'll play anything.

Honestly I have not encountered any other players that can even compete with VLC. Its free and can play just about anything. If I had to offer a criticism, it doesn't do very well converting various types of audio and video files, which I'm sure others do a lot better.
