Zoom Player is a robust media and DVD front-end player. It was designed to be simple at first glance while being remarkably dynamic and flexible when used to its full potential. It works in two modes: a Media mode which can play any file supported by DirectShow (any file which plays in MediaPlayer) and a DVD mode which uses pre-installed DirectShow DVD filters to play DVD content. It supersedes media player in all it's functions and provides several important functions that media player lacks. It provides special zooming functions to improve TV-output quality by eliminating overscan.

Five stars for the software. Zoom Player still doesn't support 3D video yet. However the software in itself is tremendously awesome and the best there is.
One annoying thing I have to mention about Zoom Player's forum though is that I had to deal with a captcha to register there. After twenty some attempts trying to successfully enter a captcha I gave up. What a waste of time . I hope I won't have to deal with annoying captchas if I ever need contact customer support.
I docked two stars due to the annoying captcha on their website forum.

Zoomplayer is the GOD of all PC video players. It creates the gold-standard for all other video players to be benchmarked to.
Make no mistake, this is the best HTPC video player on the market, hands down. It is stable, configurable in every way imaginable and controllable from a remote using Eventghost or girder.
Ignore these nincompoops below. They are purposely decreasing the rating for some reason
Best video player ever. Nothing even comes close and I've tried all of them (including MPC-HC + VLC + GOM + KMplayer)

The best media player for me. Been using it for over 5 years and never went back. And damn, these guys know how to write change logs, all other developers should use ZP's changelogs as examples of how it should be done.
