![]() Another thing which this video player does it remembers where you last stopped on a movie, allowing you to continue watching something which was interrupted. Not only does PotPlayer include support for most types of multimedia types, but it also manages to play them back without a huge effect on CPU or memory usage. Regardless of quality or size, PotPlayer manages to play it back on your PC without worrying about which codecs or codec packs you may have installed. PotPlayer is one of those video players which includes a lot of functionality that one doesn't usually expect.Īs a video player, PotPlayer is somewhat useful, includes many features and plays virtually any type of media file that you want to chuck at it. I would recommend just using Windows Media Player for watching DVD movies.Interesting and intuitive media player supporting all of the popular video and multimedia codecs and formats. I can then use my HP laptop media player remote for almost any pre-set function on SMPlayer.Ĭons: The only real downside to this media player so far is that it's DVD menu system or navigation is not fully working. More advanced is the configurable keyboard shortcuts which I then use with a program called Intelliremote. Also the scroll wheel on the mouse to go forward and back through a movie. Features I use all the time are the video equaliser to change the brightness, gamma, saturation of a movie or TV episode to look just right for my screen. mkv ect.SMPlayer is very simple and powerful to use. Please remember to choose the web installer of SMPlayer and then select extra codecs, this will make sure you have support for all the video files out there such as. Also if for whatever reason a video plays strangely or SMPlayer you can always run it on Windows Media Player as they are both separate. What a pain! SMPlayer uses it's own inbuilt codec system that is separate from Windows Media Player this means it will not mess with Windows Media Player or it's codec system. It has been a few times I have seen it require a format and re-install of windows to fix a problem caused by a poorly written codec. All it takes sometimes is one poorly written codec to mess up the windows media player codec system (which most 3rd party players or encoders use). Now using windows media player over the years (and most other 3rd party media players) it is normal to have to download codecs or whole bloated codec packs to get certain videos to run. Using SMPlayer I could run movies/TV episodes full screen without pauses or speech going out of sync even using the TV out running full screen on a TV! It just goes to show this software is built well for speed and very efficient use of system resources!A very big feature of this media player is the way it installs and uses codecs. With a clean install of windows and the latest drivers it would pause or go out of sync on movies/TV episodes using Windows Media Player or Using VLC Media Player. You can then use the audio slider on the bottom right of SMPlayer to adjust the sound volume.Okay so I first started using this software a couple of years ago when all I had to travel with was an very old Dell Laptop running Windows XP and it was a Pentium III 450Mhz with an ATI Graphics chip. For example 100 is 100% and 200 is 200% or x2 amplification. ![]() ![]() Go to Options, Preferences, Audio tab, then in Max Amplification adjust the setting higher. This is a very simple setting t o adjust. ![]() By Anonymous reviewed on November 21, 2010įastest and safest and most full featured media player.įirstly to comments above about the sound being too low.
