Everybody likes to play nice cool videos on their computer. Be it any format such as flash, avi or mpeg etc. As for windows windows media player comes installed by default. As such it cannot play all types of files ignoring its poor sound management and video management capabilities . It needs codec to play different file formats. Codecs rule the world but it might be so confusing to find which codec to install for which file. Though there are some codec packs like klite codec pack and combined community codec pack which allow to play all sorts of files. But why do we want to get struck with a dumb player like WMP ? Should not we try some other alternatives? We need some player which plays whatever file we throw at it. Can we spend a few bucks for it? why should we when there is a free alternative for it [Free not open source] I am talking about the KMPlayer which I am using for quite sometime. I found it randomly while browsing for media players. I do like to test newly released soft wares. I just love to test products and one such gem I found is "KMPlayer"
Features:
Plays almost any format of file except real media for which you need to install real alternative lite.No need to install the real player itself for such a task
It has excellent sound clarity and picture resolution
There are around tons of plugins to customize
Pros:
Plays file of any format
Totally customizable
Cons:
Features might be confusing for some
It is resource hungry eats up your ram while playing HD videos
I strongly recommend you to use KMPlayer . Though VLC and GOMPlayer do a fairly good job KMplayer tops it all. My Rating for KMPlayer would be 4.8/5 .
