Zoom Player Standard

Zoom Player Standard is a robust Media and DVD Front-End Player Zoom Player is a robust and very easy to use Media and DVD Front-End Player.

Zoom Player was designed to be simple at first glance while being remarkably dynamic and flexible when used to its full potential.
Zoom Player 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. Zoom Player provides special zooming functions to improve TV-Output quality by eliminating overscan.

You will notice that there are two versions of Zoom Player (Professional and Standard). The difference is simple, the Standard version is free for non-commercial use and is limited to file playback. The Professional is a trial version with DVD Front-End Capabilities and requires registration.

The professional trial version is fully functional and allows you to test every feature prior to registration.

What's New in This Release:

The "fnPLItemUp" and "fnPLItemDown" functions which allow you to move items up and down within the Play List have now been assigned keyboard macros of "Alt+PgUp" and "Alt+PgDn".
