   <description><![CDATA[<p><!--[lead]-->If you want to play video or music files in just about any format, <strong>VLC media player</strong> is probably your answer.<br /><!--[/lead]--></p><p><!--[features]--><!--[subfeatures]--><h3>Features</h3><!--[/subfeatures]--></p><p>Version 2 ("Twoflower") brings a new interface, faster decoding, support for more formats and the ability to play HD and BluRay. It still remains however the most stable, flexible and lightweight audio and video player around today. While other media players will play unusual formats after downloading a codec, or simply refuse to play things,</p><p>VLC media player handles tons of formats, from <strong>MPEG</strong> to <strong>FLV</strong> and <strong>RMBV</strong> files. Version 2 has seen some important additions too such as support for 10 bit codes plus multi-threaded decoding for H.264, MPEG-4/Xvid and WebM.</p><p>Also useful is the fact that you can use VLC media player to preview files you are downloading since it plays incomplete parts of video files. VLC media player is not just for video playback however. It also offers superb integration with video channel streaming services such as Channels.com giving you access to channels such as <strong>ESPN, Reuters and National Geographic</strong>. Just right-click or CMD-click on the playlist, select <strong>Services Discovery</strong> and <strong>Channels.com</strong>.</p><p>Channels.com will then appear in your VLC media player playlist. Click on it to reveal the the different categories of channels available. Click on the category you want and a drop down list of all available channels appears in VLC media player. Just click on the channel you want to watch and streaming should begin almost immediately.<br /><!--[/features]--></p><p><!--[usability]--><!--[subusability]--><h3>Usability</h3><!--[/subusability]--></p><p>VLC media player also has great hotkey support and if you take the time to learn the shortcuts so it can be controlled without touching your mouse. If you're watching DVDs or video files through it, this is not an issue. For music, it plays more or less any file and features an equalizer and playlist creation. VLC media player isn't as intuitive as <a title="iTunes" href="http://itunes.en.softonic.com"><strong>iTunes</strong></a> as a media manager, but it's a much more flexible player in terms of file formats. You can even use VLC to convert your files, and on top of all the formats and physical media it will play, many streaming protocols and TV capture cards are supported.</p><p>VLC media player makes it easy to add <strong>subtitles</strong> to your video files too - just add the <strong>SRT</strong> file to the folder where your video is kept, and it will automatically play with subtitles.</p><p>Finally, the interface in VLC media player has been somewhat improved in version 2 although it remains strictly functional. However, you can download skins to completely change VLC media player's appearance. The preferences menu is comprehensive without being overwhelming, and there is extensive documentation online.<br /><!--[/usability]--></p><p><!--[conclusion]--><!--[subconclusion]--><h3>Conclusion</h3><!--[/subconclusion]--></p><p><strong>VLC Media Player is quite simply the best multimedia application for Windows and Mac.

   <title><![CDATA[K-Lite Codec Pack Basic 9.9.5]]></title>
   <link>http://klite_codec_pack_basic.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>K-Lite Codec Pack Basic</strong> is one of the most versatile <a title="Media content packs on Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/packs">media content packs</a> available for users anywhere.</p><p>The K-Lite Codec Pack Basic comes in three separate versions for different tiered users. From the simple basic pack, which includes the <strong>most common video and audio codecs</strong> and includes subtitle support, the K-Lite Codec Pack Basic version will allow the majority of users to watch and listen to their content with relative ease.</p><p>One main difference of K-Lite Codec Pack Basic is that it <strong>does not include <a title="Media Player Classic Home Cinema on Softonic" href="http://media-player-classic-homecinema.en.softonic.com/">Media Player Classic Home Cinema</a></strong>. This simple media player is the easiest to use, but not necessary in K-Lite Codec Pack Basic. <strong>Windows Media Player</strong> is more than enough for the small amount of codecs in this set.</p><p>K-Lite Codec Pack Basic’s functionality is also directly connected to the hardware specifications of the system it is running on, so do not expect to be able to easily play high definition content with smooth framerates even though K-Lite Codec Pack Basic is able to render the files.</p><p>The most common codecs like DirectShow, MKV decoders, and MP4 decoders are installed in K-Lite Codec Pack Basic so there is not much more needed for every day viewing. Even though K-Lite Codec Pack Basic supports audio, it is <strong>meant for video</strong>. With the numerous video codecs and encoders creating files that are high quality with smaller file sizes, native Windows support does not exist for all the variations.</p><p>The different tested content in K-Lite Codec Pack Basic included MP4, AVI, WMV, and MKV; all at different levels of quality and resolutions.  The codec pack had no problem playing any of the files in Windows Media Player. K-Lite Codec Pack Basic also <strong>supports different subtitle formats</strong> like SRT, SUB, and IDX, but take a little customizing for the subtitles to display properly.</p><p><strong>K-Lite Codec Pack Basic is the perfect set of third-party codecs that are not natively supported in Windows. </strong></p><p>Download <a title="K-Lite Codec Pack Basic 9.9.5" href="http://klite_codec_pack_basic.en.softonic.com"><strong>K-Lite Codec Pack Basic 9.9.5</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[K-Lite Codec Pack Full 9.9.5]]></title>
   <link>http://k-lite-codec-pack_full.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>K-Lite Codec Pack Full</strong> does what K-Lite Codec Pack Standard can, with more options.</p><p>Most user will never need to use K-Lite Codec Pack Full. It contains the same set of <a title="Media content packs on Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/packs">codecs</a> that exist in K-Lite Codec Pack Standard, but also add the ability for <strong>users to encode their own videos</strong>.</p><p>K-Lite Codec Pack Full is best utilized by users who understand bitrates, frames per second, and resolution aspect ratios. Even though K-Lite Codec Pack Full is a great codec pack, it is not recommended for users who will not be creating and encoding their own videos.</p><p>The playback capability of K-Lite Codec Pack Full is like K-Lite Codec Pack Standard.  The tests playing various file formats showed the same quality and function with the AVI, WMV, MKV, and MP4 videos. All played with no problems and K-Lite Codec Pack Full also contains subtitle support. K-Lite Codec Pack Full along with K-Lite Codec Pack Standard can <strong>re-time subtitles</strong> so if a user had issues with subtitle playback, it can be customized.</p><p>Using K-Lite Codec Pack Full as an encoder is the bulk of the purpose of the program. Since it layers more functions on top of K-Lite Codec Pack Standard, it is possible to <strong>view the exact specific audio and video</strong> codecs are being used, how they are utilized, and how they interact with the hardware they are running on. It is interesting information for the curious, but <strong>unnecessary for standard playback</strong>.</p><p><strong>K-Lite Codec Pack Full is a great starting point for novice users who want to understand how media formats work and a good tool for working with different media types for customization.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="K-Lite Codec Pack Full 9.9.5" href="http://k-lite-codec-pack_full.en.softonic.com"><strong>K-Lite Codec Pack Full 9.9.5</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>SUPER</strong> is a useful media tool that both <strong>encodes and renders media files</strong> into a variety of different formats.</p><p>The evolution of computers reveals a trend toward multimedia desktop apps where users can listen to music, watch videos, surf the net, work and view photo albums.<br />If you’ve gotten hold of media files, you’ve probably had to convert the files to transfer them on a different device or in order to play it in another application at one time or another.<br />SUPER makes <a title="" href="http://en. softonic. com/s/file-converter">audio and video conversion</a> a breeze thanks to a well presented interface and a slew of options.</p><p>SUPER’s single window interface is divided into audio and video and the selection of output options is done via the three dropdown menus at the top.<br />There are quite a few formats available. SUPER allows you to convert movies and music to play on recent devices such as Apple iPod, Sony PSP and 3gp for use on Sony Ericsson and Nokia mobile phones.<br />The <strong>huge bit rate menu</strong>, from 64 to 9792 Kbps, means you can truly optimize and quicken the conversion process. Unfortunately, SUPER only offers <strong>2 video codec outputs</strong> (H263 and MPEG-4) and <strong>3 audio codecs</strong> (AAC, AMR wideband and narrowband).</p><p>On the audio side, SUPER allows you to select your language from individual tracks, but audio is limited to one channel and one sampling frequency (8000).<br />It seems SUPER is <strong>more suited to video conversion</strong>. Luckily SUPER includes recognized encoders such as ff mpeg or mencoder, ensuring a decent conversion process for both audio and video.</p><p>Use the buttons at the bottom of the interface to play files and check their quality after having converted them. The Player Options button gives you the chance to tweak video features such as aspect, saturation, hue, brightness and contrast.<br />All files converted or waiting to be converted are visible in a list and you can verify the streaming link and output status. <br /> <strong>SUPER is a very open media converter that even the klutziest of users will find easy enough to use.</p><p>Download <a title="SUPER 2013 build 55" href="http://super.en.softonic.com"><strong>SUPER 2013 build 55</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[BS.Player Pro 2.63.1071]]></title>
   <link>http://bs_player.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/37000/37062/bsplayer_about1.gif" border="0" align="right" style="margin:0px 5px 5px;" /> <p>Since bursting onto the internet in 2000, BSPlayer has been downloaded over 60 million times according to its developers. The aim of the player is to "enable users to focus on watching the movie instead of dealing with poor computer capabilities or running around looking for a proper settings and codecs." For those that have had problems with mainstream media players on offer, BSPlayer may prove a useful alternative.</p><p>It supports all kinds of media including avi, mpeg, asf, wmv, mp3, etc but also specializes in DivX playback. Many users report that DivX files that wouldn’t work on other players, did in BS Player. One of the major drawbacks with many media players is resource hogging but BSPlayer consumes no more than many audio players and start-up is pleasantly fast. Because it does not use much of the processing power, its more suited to those users with slower machines that are not looking for too many fancy features.</p><p>BSPlayer also comes bundled with BSMediaLibrary which can manage all your multimedia content and enables you to create your own playlists. It also has a multitude of skins available for download, many designed by other devoted users.</p><p>The major drawback with BSPlayer is the concealed menu which appears and disappears when you wave the mouse over it. This becomes increasingly annoying if you are listening to something whilst using another application. However, loading subtitles is easy and dragging and dropping files into the screen to open files means you can avoid the annoying menu. You also have a small graphic equaliser and can load the player with other codecs that you might need.</p><p>Overall, definitely worth trying for anyone who has had problems with DivX files or are tired of bulky mainstream offerings.</p><p>Download <a title="BS.Player Pro 2.63.1071" href="http://bs_player.en.softonic.com"><strong>BS.Player Pro 2.63.1071</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[PotPlayer 1.5.35238]]></title>

   <description><![CDATA[<p>There are a lot of free third-party <a href="http://en.softonic.com/windows/video-players">media players</a> and <strong>PotPlayer</strong> is another great option for both video and music playback.</p><p>While most people listen to streaming music or video now, there are occasions when you do not have a data connection and locally stored files are your only option. PotPlayer is an excellent media player that can handle a large variety of media file types.</p><p>Playback quality will depend on the hardware the program is installed on, but in tests, <strong>PotPlayer had no problem playing a 1.6 GB MOV file, 865 MB MKV, or a 1.4 GB AVI</strong>. Smaller files should play back without any issues as well. You can toggle file information and see an in-depth breakdown of file information including CPU usage.</p><p>There is <strong>subtitle support</strong> in PotPlayer for .ass and .srt files and will natively play subtitles if they are located in the same folder as the video file. The amount of options in PotPlayer are great. You can optimize PotPlayer to get the best performance, but the default settings work fine for the majority of videos.</p><p>PotPlayer can also play audio files. It includes default <strong>visualizations</strong> or you can download more online. The program provides a lot of information about the audio file like bitrate, file type, and the number of channels. Like other media players, there are also audio presets for the equalizer and they all work pretty well. It it is not a substitute for a good stereo, but does have an effect on the audio.</p><p>The program is by Daum, a Korean company, but the program is presented entirely in English during and after installation. One annoyance is that PotPlayer does not show in the taskbar, only in the notification area, so to use the program, you either have to have it running in an open section on your screen or find it in notifications.</p><p><strong>PotPlayer is a good alternative to first party media players. The stable build has a large variety of supported formats and the quality of playback is excellent for both video and audio.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="PotPlayer 1.5.35238" href="http://potplayer.en.softonic.com"><strong>PotPlayer 1.5.35238</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

The information displayed by MediaInfo includes basic data such as file name, playtime, file size and the likes, as well as more specific details like used codec, bitrate, channel, sample rate and resolution, among others.</p><p>The information provided by MediaInfo can be displayed in a variety of ways, from a basic data sheet or plain text to a tree-like structure or an HTML document. It can also be exported to a file but surprisingly enough MediaInfo doesn't include an option to obtain a printed copy.</p><p>Another thing I missed in MediaInfo is the possibility to obtain more information from the Internet (a web link would have been enough) or being able to download the necessary codec if it's not present in the system.</p><p><strong>With MediaInfo you can obtain a complete report on any audio or video file, display it in several ways and also export it to several formats though it doesn't support printing and lacks some advanced functionality.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="MediaInfo 0.7.61" href="http://mediainfo.en.softonic.com"><strong>MediaInfo 0.7.61</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Media Player Classic Homecinema 1.6.6.6957r2]]></title>
   <link>http://media-player-classic-homecinema.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<img src="http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/74000/74927/mediaplayer05.png" border="0" align="right" style="margin:0px 5px 5px;" /> <p>When I want to watch videos on my PC I always look for a light-weight, simple-to-use player. Media Player Classic Homecinema then, is just the kind of app I like.</p><p>This simple yet full featured video player is based on the original Media Player Classic, a great open source Windows multimedia player. Shortly after the developer of this original project stopped working on it, another group of developers started coding a new player with extended functionality, though trying at the same time to keep the essence of the original program.</p><p>As a result of this, Media Player Classic Homecinema keeps exactly the same appearance as its predecessor, which makes it really easy to use – even if you have never used Media Player Classic before. It also maintains the same great features the original player offered, that is, ability to play DVD, support for subtitles and more. Oh, and best of all, it doesn't require installation.</p><p>Besides the original features, Media Player Classic Homecinema also lets you enjoy new interesting functionality such as additional video codecs (particularly H.264 and VC-1), better integration with Windows Vista (including a special 64-bit version), several bug and vulnerability fixes and option to remove tearing from your video files, though sadly I didn't figure out how to use this last feature.</p><p><strong>If you're a Media Player Classic user, you're going to love this revamped version of your favorite player. And if you're not, it's about time you start using this great program.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Media Player Classic Homecinema 1.6.6.6957r2" href="http://media-player-classic-homecinema.en.softonic.com"><strong>Media Player Classic Homecinema 1.6.6.6957r2</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>
