Zoom Player is nice and very good player for using zipped files and folders If you want to play or view your files without you unzipped them. I like to zip my files in order to easily organize and backup and also save some free space on hard drive. You can get it with discount sale price if you like purchasing new things on your Steam profile. And also I like easy setup and easy installing process of Steam. I also want to see free lifetime upgrades, editions, new functions, abilities and more.. best videos player <3. Unnecessarily obtuse and confusing, I surely wouldn't recommend this software. I believe it is a piece of well-intentioned software, and may have a large amount of functionality; yet, it took me almost two hours to get a DVD to play with it (after a few failed attempts before). That is not the kind of software I need, nor want. Perhaps if your hip to the lingo, or an IT professional, then you may enjoy this software and its tinkerability. I just want something that works, not something I have to work at.As the movie I was just watching has finished, I'll now be uninstalling Zoom, and replacing with a more functionally and user-friendly free solution.. Used the Freeware version of this program for just about as long as it was first available. I've tried every major freeware video player on the market, all of which are useable, none of which are as customizable or feature rich as Zoom Player. I have a lot of old and new video I play using this program, so I have a lot of hours on record on Steam but probably 10x the amount of hours on the freeware, so I figured it was about time I help support the developers and buy the full version here on steam. It's worth every penny at the current full price they charge here, getting it on special just makes it that much of a better deal. Don't bother with the reviews with 0.1hrs. If those people could actually read the feature list properly, they would understand that this player does not play back copy protected Blu-ray discs because that requires expensive licensing that would probably at least double the cost of this program. Also do not listen to thor32123's review, because this program plays every major format available as long as you have the proper filters and codecs installed on your computer. I have played back: mpg, mp4, avi, ogm, mkv, rm, rmv, rmvb, asf, wmv, qt, etc. Plays them all fine. I don't use this for audio, but every audio file I have accidently played on this program has played fine: mp3, wav, ogg, flac, etc.Pros: Feature Rich & customizable well beyond the available freeware players out there Excellent Playlist feature, light years better than every other player I have tried Plays almost everything, copy protected Blu-ray being the only format I am aware of it doesn'tCons: Doesn't play copy protected Blu-ray, but it doesn't claim it does either. Doesn't offer enough at the price point over freeware players for the casual media playback users. Steam Updates are sometimes buggy with Anti-virus software, requiring disabling your AV prior to updatingOverall: 9\/10While no copy protected Blu-ray playback support is a con, the program does not claim it does so you cannot fault the program for that. The problematic updates through Steam are a hastle, but more of a nitpick than a real con. Most programs tell you to disable your AV prior to installation as a precaution anyway, but this was the first time I have had a problem with installing an update or any program for many years now that were caused by an Anti-virus program. If you're a casual media playback user, you'll be fine with any of the freeware players out there, VLC being the best 'Video player for Dummies' out there. If you absolutely have to have copy protected Blu-ray playback, look elsewhere. I have a set top player for my Blu-rays as well as a software player that came with my BD-R Writer so I did not need nor care about Blu-ray playback. I've used the software player that came with my burner once, and that was just to test if it was actually a fully useable version or just a trial (it's a full version). Any time I play a Blu-ray, I do it with my set top player.If you're a power user, or not afraid of learning how to work with this program (not that difficult), there's no better video player out there available at this price point or cheaper.. Utterly useless, plays hardly any video files at all. Free players like VLC run rings around this piece of junk.. Only plays DVDs in low resolution.

Announcing Zoom Player v13.5: Hi Everyone,Version 13.5 enhances Zoom Player's Home Theater PC look & user experience, introduces a great new selection of internet radio stations, fixes many small bugs and provides an important work-around for a performance degradation issue introduced in the Windows 10 Creators Edition (more on this below).* Enhanced fullscreen navigation experienceThe new navigation style is cleaner and optimizes the available content area. In the next few weeks we will be releasing a special version of the new navigation style designed for use by the visually impaired or when viewing on a smaller screen.* SHOUTcast Radio Station indexReal-time access to the SHOUTcast.com internet radio station list directly from Zoom Player, the most popular radio stations from across the globe, easily accessible and sorted by genre.* YouTube EnhancementsWith DirectShow, Zoom Player now supports playback of YouTube 1080p/1440p/4K/8K DASH streams.

As a result, drawing each line of text took 10 times longer and compounded in real life usage to x50-x100 slower screen updates.As a work around, a new setting (Adv. Options / Fullscreen Navigation / Customization - Anti-Aliasing) has been introduced to control the anti-aliasing mode used when drawing navigation text. The new setting has the side-benefit of even faster screen updates on lower end PCs by disabling Anti-Aliasing entirely.What more is new?Zoom Player 13.5 includes many new enhancements and features, the full list is available here:http://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_whatsnew.shtmlSupport Zoom Player development on PatreonWould you like to see great new features become a reality sooner rather than later? please join us by supporting Zoom Player on Patreon.

The DEMO version is ready, waiting on steam to activate: The demo version has been submitted, we are now waiting for steam personal to activate the demo.. Announcing Zoom Player v13.7.1: Hi Everyone,This release is all about bug fixes and many were fixed:+ Adding chapters using the chapter editor will now instantly show the chapter's position in the timeline (if timeline display is enabled).- Fixed a bug in countries with a comma decimal symbol where the media library thumbnails text height and spacing got truncated.For example:A thumbnail's Text Height of "1.95%" resulted in an actual text height of "1%".- Loading ".PLS/.XSPF" playlists where the first item in the playlist did not play (e.g. "server down") would trigger an infinite loop and Zoom Player froze.- The inactive navigation txt-lines background was not being drawn.- The "I" key will again close the information dialog if it is visible.- The media library category sorting order and last folder position could get reset under some conditions due to insufficient registry memory allocation.- Setting the control bar to appear with a fixed width while infullscreen did not show the control bar in the right position (or at all) on secondary monitors.- Setting the control bar to appear at the top or bottom of the screen did not show the control bar in the right position (or at all) on secondary monitors.- The media library category editor did not show the currently enabled scraping mode, thumbnail aspect ratio and thumbnail columns when a language pack was installed.- The playlist editor line-spacing did not work well with every font.- Slight adjustment to the media library's thumbnail text drawing to better account for fonts with less-uniform character heights.- It was possible for a new components/filters notification to trigger without new components being available. It was triggered due to a new version of Zoom Player being available on the install center. Since player updates has its own notification, this message is redundant.If you missed a version, check out the change list archive:http://inmatrix.com/files/zoomplayer_whatsnew_archive.shtml
