Discusss about the two best player those are GOM and VLC
so lets start with VLC
screenshot for vlc
it is one of the demanded player to play mostly the .avi(ie divx and xvid files)
ONE OF THE BEST IF player is slim and also takes of 33mb(approx) of your ram in stable mode
and if u play a normal quality video it takes abot 70-80 mb of your ram(tested at the LCD samsung t220 22" at
resolution 1680x1080)
some of the shortcuts of vlc
I can tell really a good built to player
It PLAYS EVERYTHING (BUT IF NOT SOMETHING VIRUS PROBLEM EXIST)
The media player that fills all your needs. It can handle DVDs, (S)VCDs, Audio CDs, web streams, TV cards and much more.
You don't need to keep track of a dozen codec packs you need to have installed. VLC has all codecs built-in. It comes with support for nearly all codec there is.
And what is more it can even play back the file or media if it is damaged! Missing or broken pieces are no stop to VLC, it plays all the video and audio information that's still intact.

NOW WE WILL DISSCUSS ABOUT GOM PLAYER
HERE ITS IS ITS SCREENSHOT
I can tell really a good built to player
Codec Finder
GOM Player includes many codecs (XviD, DivX, FLV1, AC3, OGG, MP4, H263 and more) so you won't need to install separate codecs for most videos. For those videos that require a separate codec, GOM Player will find one and direct you to a place where you can download an open source version of the codec. That way, you won't get stuck with unnecessary codecs on your system.
Play Broken AVI Files (Patented)
AVI files can't be played if the index is broken, or if the file isn't completely downloaded. This is because the index is located at the end of the file. GOM Player's patented technology enables users to view files with broken indexes or that are still being downloaded.
Powerful Subtitle Support
GOM Player supports SMI, SRT, RT, SUB(with IDX) files for subtitle. You can specify margin, location, size, resolution, font and others. You can also enable shadow, view ASF files with subtitle, karaoke subtitle mode. You can even synchronize subtitle and video if there's any mismatch.
Convenient Playlist
If you run a video file and there is already a file with a similar name in the directory, it will be automatically added to your playlist. GOM Player has a similar playlist format as M3U, PLS, ASX and you can also include and edit different media formats on that playlist as well. It's easy to create and edit your own multimedia playlist with GOM Player.
Support Different Media Types
Along with different media format such as AVI, MPG, MPEG and DAT, GOM Player also supports streaming Windows media format (WMV, ASF, ASX). You can also watch DVD-quality videos with 5.1 channel audio output.
Screen Capture
Screen capture allows you to take a screenshot of your video directly from GOM Player. Using the Burst Capture feature, you can take continuous screenshots up to 999 shots.
Advanced Features
There are an endless number of advanced features. Customize brightness, contrast and saturation. Sharpen and add noise to your video. Try the audio equalizer. Repeat a section of your video with our A-B Repeat feature. Fast forward/rewind a few seconds using left/right keys. And much more for you to discover!
IN PLAYING FILES IT ALSO PLAYS THE SAME FILE AS VLC PLAYS
ABOUT CONSUPTION OF RAM MY SUGGESTION USE THIS BECAUSE
IT CONSUMES 3 TIMES LESS RAM THAN VLC IN STABLE MODE I.E 12-13MB
and if u play normal video file it take abt 60-70 mb of ram
