I've tried lots of media players, from BsPlayer to VLC and Windows Media Player. All of these have nice features but they have also annoying flaws. GOM Media Player has been a revelation for me: I'm still trying to find a media file format that this freeware can't play! It even plays .ts files!GOM Media Player has reached version 2.1.9.3753.
If you have an older version just open the player and hit the F1 key, you'll be downloading the latest version in no time. Some of the players I've used don't offer the possibility to tweak everything you'd want. GOM Player lets you tweak your heart out: video adjustments, audio, subtitles.The list of nice features in this freeware is impressive.
It 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 open source version of the codec. That way, you won't get stuck with unnecessary codecs on your system.- It plays broken AVI files- It 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.- It supports probably any time of media file format you can think of- You can capture screenshots from the movie you play, up to 999 successive frames!- Fast forward/rewind a few seconds using left/right keys.And there are more features, it's simply overwhelming. I don't say "this is the best" too often. But this piece of software really convinced me: it's the best free media player.
You can download it from here, it's free!
