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.

This is the best video player on the market. It has an internet radio and internet TV capabilities. It will play CD, DVD, and BlueRay disks as well as every other file downloaded to your desktop. ZoomPlayer also downloads all codec software needed straight from the source to play any video or audio file imaginable through the install center. It's highly customizable. And the default skin is sharp and sleek. And to my surprise when ZoomPlayer was updated to version 8, my license was excepted without paying for an upgrade. I highly recommend this awesome player. It's way better than the free ones but like in most things, you get what you pay for.

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)
