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.
