i've only tried Kantaris on a Windows 7 64 Bit System is noticeably just like vlc, and comes with the exact same pros and cons. well actually it doesn't crash as much as vlc on 64.

Kantaris on Windows 7 64 Bit PROS:
-plays almost anything.
-works like a charm on music and playlists in general.
-plays most video files without any problems. (just like vlc)
-nice look to it. (better than vlc)

Kantaris on Windows 7 64 Bit CONS:
-fails on mkv files, after trying out boat loads of codecs i finally got it to work, but it wasn't easy. and even now it sometimes gives me complications with some mkv files. (just like vlc)
-no custom screen size adjustment. (just like vlc)
-skips some subtitle entries, and some it even plays faster than it's supposed to. (just like vlc)
-occasional crash. (just like vlc)
-some videos actually have the black borders on the side, which you can't get rid of while not playing the videos in full screen.

Its a good media player, but dont install it if you dont want a major headache trying to get rid of it being associated with certain file types.

A 25 min xvid video played in jerks in full screen mode while the same video played perfectly alright in other players (KMplayer, WMP). I would stay with the KM palyer for now even if it does play wmv.

Only been using this player for a couple of days but so far it has worked perfectly. It seems to play what VLC plays which is pretty much everything :).
