Description
If you want a media player for your Windows based system that is capable of high quality playback of a variety of multimedia files such as Matroska, MP4, mp3, AVI, MPEG, Quicktime, and WAV then BS Player from Webteh may be the tool that you are looking for. This proprietary Freeware package is available in two versions: Free and Pro.
Features
A key benefit of BS Player is that once installed it automatically checks for codecs and splitters and if it finds that there are necessary codecs missing then it will inform the user what needs to be installed. This aid is just the beginning of a very useful and user friendly media player. It has built in support for third party plugins, such as Winamp, that enable the user to open that library through BS Player. The subtitle function has some features that are not typical of other players. In this the user can set the position of the subtitles as well as the colour, font, level of transparency, and even the option to simultaneously display two different subtitles.
In use there are optional skins that can set to any shape and transparency and the movie window can be resized, borderless, full screen, or even used in a dual screen mode. There is an integrated codec update manager that will work automatically as long as your WiFi signal is not interrupted and this is designed to maintain the playback capabilities. A detail that is easily overlooked is that the programme itself uses remarkably little memory space for such a capable piece of technology.
Comparison
The current version can be used on all Windows operating systems from 2000 and includes XP, Vista, 7, and now 8. Unlike a number of its competitors this programme is able to run AVCHD format files used by the manufacturers of digital camcorders. It also allows the user to alter the playback speed to suit their purposes. Further options available include the ability to customise the pan-scan feature, alter the aspect ratio and resolution settings, and even allow frame grabbing and customisation of the filename. This player features the ability to automatically search online for subtitles and downloads them when found.
Conclusion
Once installed and updated, where required, this media player simply works well. The multilingual user interface is easy to navigate and set to your preferred language. The option to modify the skin is a great feature as not everyone will like the default setting but some may find once it is in operation then that is not worth worrying about. The kids can be kept amused thanks to its ability to play YouTube videos and parents can always take control with the aid of the remote control that works through WinLRC (wireless, Bluetooth, and IR devices). All in all a very practical player that does not waste valuable memory space.
