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.

Useless. There are far more better players than this one and they're freeware.

Used to be a supporter but now that they released the premium edition, they are charging users for features which USED TO BE part of the pro version I purchased. What a ripoff.

Awesome. Worth the money for some.
Basically, I pretty much use FFDSHOW audio and video decoders for most video. I installed my external decoders via the latest CCCP.
I still have KMPlayer, WMP11, WMP Classic etc. but Zoom Player was the only one that allowed me to get every last thing just the way I want it. One notable thing is dual audio and subtitles. I typed "english" in Settings to allow English audio even if another language like Japanese is first. On my Control bar I can quickly toggle the Subtitles and audio if need be. Anamorphic Matroska is another thing not all players have. There's too much to mention.
I've never had a single stability issue in two years with any version and I've tried all of them.
Honestly, very few people need to purchase this, but I bought it a couple years ago and just love it. I'm happy to see that changing version numbers didn't require me to upgrade like some programs I bought in the past.
Perfect for my needs! Very configurable and stable.
