VSO Media Player 1.3

As its name clearly suggests, this is a simple yet full-featured media player capable of playing back most video and audio files. However, the program can also play back your DVD and Blu-ray movies, either from physical discs or folders. It can also create and load playlists very easily, all of that and more from a nice interface, which includes almost 100 interchangeable skins.

The most praiseworthy feature of this program is probably the amount of built-in codecs it includes. This means you can use it to play back audio and video files in many popular formats without needing to install third-party codec packs. This standalone media player supports playing back AVI, MPEG, WMV, MOV, FLV, RM, MP3, AC3, WAV, WMA, and FLAC files, among others. Besides, VSO Media Player can also display subtitles, either those that come with your DVD/Blu-ray discs or from external files in many popular subtitle formats, such as SRT, SSA, and SUB. As an extra tool, the program includes a full-featured subtitle editor.

This media player includes a navigation panel that you can hide or show with the click of a button. It shows the list of files in your current playlist, so that you can jump from one to another very easily. Or you can use this panel to visualize in a hierarchical way all the titles and chapters present on your currently playing DVD. The program supports both GDI and Direct3D modes for video display, so that you can choose the one that’s best for you according to your system. Besides, VSO Media Player can take advantage of your video card hardware acceleration capabilities and any multi-core CPUs. Therefore, you can enjoy your video files and/or movies with the best possible quality your system can provide.

In a nutshell, VSO Media Player is a very efficient media player, as it is lightweight, simple, intuitive, and it includes native support for all popular audio and video formats.
