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.

Free for Non-Commercial use.

    ZP is still a avery good, light media player with a very responsive author who answers all questions. I bought the app a long time ago, but I'm afraid there are better freeware alternatives now, such as Kmplayer and Gomplayer.

    ZP still has a few features which are unmatched, such as TV output and the catalog.

    To bad that it has such a poor support for subtitles. Other than that it's ok but i prefer Kmplayer which is far better.

    It's not only a mp3 player but a video player, on that category I prefer winamp. It's very customizable player, skin support and you can control it entirely from the keyboard if you like.

    Yes it does use external stuff but I don't think that is bad.

    It can not show subtitles without help of an external software (you need direct vobsub. even the simplest player can do this.

    It's fast, has many options and you could control it completely with your keyboard! Great!
