When watching a video or a movie, such a problem may occur that an already installed player will not be enough to watch. Indeed, it is often impossible to adjust the necessary parameters for yourself. For such situations, a powerful and flexible media player - Zoom Player was invented. Some operating systems on phones encode video in their own format, which will sometimes be difficult to play on another operating system.

Zoom Player is a functional utility that is a multimedia player for various file formats, even the most little-known (DAT, VOB). The database of the program has more than 90 formats that are constantly updated.

The utility belongs to the trial type. Developers provide free access to the program for 30 days. But the free trial has its own functional limitations. The user can use the basic functions of the utility, such as processing and creating labels in audio and video files, supporting most formats of audio files, creating bookmarks in the video so as not to lose the moment that the user stopped. Some may compare Zoom Player to those already installed on Microsoft's Media Center computer.

It is difficult to imagine any modern computer, laptop or other device without a media player installed. Multimedia files are firmly in use, used both for entertainment purposes, for rest and relaxation, and in the business sphere, among businessmen. Multimedia content is also used for the purpose of teaching, more often a foreign language, and more recently, other areas of study.

To play a variety of multimedia files, there are programs that allow you to play such data formats on your computer. One of the low-resource media utilities is the BS.Player program, which has proven itself among a wide range of users. The program performs all the necessary functions, namely:

• supports existing media file formats;
• processes text and video subtitles;
• creates bookmarks for comfortable moving around the film;
• splits the video stream into chapters;
• allows you to take a screenshot of the screen.

ALLPlayer is a multimedia player from ALLPlayer Group Ltd (Polish developers). It was created in 1998. Since then it has been constantly updated and is in great demand.

There are many possibilities, and in fact, the tool quickly copes not only with documents, but also with music, graphic, even video formats with more than 100 different target formats.

Free and roomy

Thus, users can convert files with a maximum size of 150 MB. Working with the site is very simple and involves four consecutive steps. At the very beginning, the file that we want to replace must be posted on the site. Then we must specify the desired format in which we ultimately want to use the file. In the third step, we must specify the email address to which we want to forward the link with the version ready for download. The last step is to accept the site’s rules by clicking the “Convert” button, after which the operation will begin. After some time (longer, the larger the file), the link to the file in the format we specified will be redirected in the message.

Zamzar also can convert files located directly on the network. This is especially useful, for example, when you want to receive a video file in the form of an audio file. The site is developed in English language only.

Many of their formats are supported, including SRT, SUB, SSA, subtitles embedded in Matroska files, DVD subtitles, and more. Text can be freely enlarged, change its color or font. One of the most interesting features of SMPlayer is the ability to remember all the settings of the files being played, the moment the playback stopped, the font size in the movie, etc.

The rich functionality for interacting with subtitles in films and clips distinguishes this player from its analogues on the market today. This function deserves special attention, since not many players are able to provide such a unique function. SMPlayer is very stable.
