Best Movie Player 1.55

Best Movie Player 1.55 Publisher's description

When one looks into the title, the first thought is: download it and install it quickly in order to enjoy the favorite movie. Wrong. The first movie I tried to view triggered an error: 'cannot find Xvid decompressor', although the latest DivX codec pack is installed and fully functional. Although I could visualize MPEG, WMV, DAT and DivX movies, I couldn't load any subtitles, since there is no such option.

Generally speaking, the options are very few: view file info, set display color, video size and set video always on top. So much for the options. Even the 'video size' option is limited to 100%, 200% and full screen, no option for 16:9 or 4:3 or Pan and Scan. The only positive feature was a bar which allowed you to change the playing speed from 1% to 300%. You can also play MP3s, OGG, MIDI, WAV and WMA audio formats the the concept of playlist has not been implemented into this program, let alone an equalizer.

Pluses:

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: Poor. It needs a lot of work in order to become an average media player.
