VLC has BIG problems with softsubs. It doesn't support fonts and certain typesetting features for donkey/ssa subtitle streams, making your subs look really fugly in some cases. And sometimes the subs don't fit propperly and overlap. And for srt subs (don't know if it's the case for others types as well) it cuts out the very 1st line of subtitles in the file (that was like 1+ years ago. Could be fixed now).

that's the only reason I have MPC ;p

Imo MPC + a decent codec pack should not be inferior to VLC at any aspect (besides for the fact that it's more annoying to install). So I don't see the reason in using 2 seperate media players when you can just use 1.

Ctrl+Alt+T.

I use Always on Top Maker.

I watch what is being transmitted full screen to the TV using ATi Cinema Mode.

VLC Sticks on top, but MPC for some reason disables the Always on Top and hides - its only suitable when I use it for PC Fullscreen viewing.

Not just that, VLC has just always been my trusty-player I know will just work. I have experienced Crashing and having to unnecessarily fiddle with settings to make sure MPC works properly. Especially when it comes to HD 720p Video - I changed the output to use Haalis and its working now... still, VLC is has earned my trust to work constantly.
