Not
only is GOM Media Player a completely FREE video player, with its
built-in support for all the most popular video and audio formats, tons
of advanced features, extreme customizability, and the Codec Finder
service, GOM Media Player is sure to fulfill all of your playback needs.
With millions of users in hundreds of countries, GOM Media Player is
one of the world`s most popular video players.
GOM
Media Player for Windows handles most of the more common video formats,
including MP4, AVI, MKV, and more. It comes with a sleeker, more media
center-focused design and packs plenty of codecs under the hood to play
just about any media format you throw at it.
he initial installation is standard, like any other Windows product:
accept a couple terms, set a destination folder, and choose to opt in or
out of an offer from AVG. After installation completes, GOM will guide
you through an optional setup process to optimize initial use based on
sound and monitor setup.
You'll be introduced to a 4:3 ratio
default window with an orange, black, and silver theme that will make
you wonder if Halloween came early. Your token playback tools like Play,
Stop, and Skip Forward and Back are located on the bottom left corner,
and control panels for managing your media content are located on the
opposite side. In the middle is a small, integrated upsell ticker that
links users to any of GOM's other products or video content. Though this
can easily be removed by switching to another skin, it's far less
intrusive than other attempts at product promotions that we've seen in
many other apps.
Right above is a timeline that's extremely narrow; this is fine for
standard keyboard/mouse users but hardly ideal for touch. Right-clicking
anywhere on the player will expose even more detailed options and
audio/video-related tweaks like those found in other open-source
players. You can add custom audio EQ effects, tweak subtitle lengths,
and even take burst screenshots to capture particular moments from
videos. However, some of the language was a bit confusing: GOM labels
screen rotation as "flip input/output." Not a deal- breaker by any
means, but not a labor-intensive fix either.
GOM Player is a free
multimedia player with popular video and audio codecs built-in. GOM
Player supports file formats such as AVI, DAT, MPEG, DivX, XviD, WMV,
ASF. Users don't have to install codecs separately. GOM Player is
capable of playing incomplete or damaged AVI files by skipping the
damaged frames. It can also play locked or partially downloaded files.
Its other features include drag-and-drop support, HTTP streaming,
editable skins, subtitling, overlay mixer, key remapping, enhanced
filter rendering, real-time index rebuilding for AVI files and unicode
support among others.
