Zoom Player was originally conceived to fill a void in Multimedia playback. Prior to Zoom Player, playing media files on the PC was either overly simplistic for the Power User or overly cryptic to the common user. Zoom Player tries to both simplify the playback experience for the common user, while giving the Power Users all the tools and interfaces they may require to manipulate their playback environment to their exact specification. To that end, Zoom Player employs a slick and simple user interface, combined with easy to access features while at the same time providing advanced control dialogs over every feature imaginable.
“ Zoom Player Professional builds on the extensive features of the Standard version, and expands them with the following functions:
DVD Playback and Navigation:
Use the most powerful DVD Navigation Front-End, select between various 3rd party Audio and Video Decoders with optional Post Processing filters to further enhance your playback to unmatched quality. The DVD feature-set is the most complete and flexible available today.
Media Playback Customization:
Use the Customized Media Playback Interface with profiles that allow you to choose how a specific media format should be played. It further extends the standard interface to allow you to decode specific file formats (either by content or by file extension) using specific user-selected decoders, giving you the most flexible control over media playback. Select which audio and video devices to use when playing the video to ensure optimum quality under any condition.
Playback of Incomplete and Locked Files:
Play incomplete AVI and other media files as they are being downloaded by Peer 2 Peer networks (e.g., eMule or Kazaa) while maintaining maximum playback stability and seeking capabilities.
A/V Stream Playback:
Play video-capture data such as DVB streams, as Zoom Player Professional can detect file changes as they are written, reload the file at end of the file and resume playing with the new data.
Auto-select Audio/Subtitle streams:
Zoom Player automatically selects Audio and Subtitle streams in media files according to the language name (text match), country code or index number.
Playback from within Archive files:
Automatically extract and play the content of Archive, AlbumWrap and similar files.
Interactive Navigational Interfaces, Remote Control features:
Interface with most of Zoom Player controls using the OSD Navigational interfaces. These allow you to browse your hard drive and media library, resize and reposition the video, seek/jump directly to any position on the timeline and much more. The Navigational interfaces are easily controlled through a 5 button interface similar to DVD Menus (left/right/up/down/select) and offer an ideal interface for Remote Controlling your computer.
