Ever since Winamp was killed there was no better player for windows. The nearest player I would recommend is vlc for playing 99% of formats for free only lacks are its weak library and numbers of plugins.

I signed up with the form from the developer, but never received the activation key that was mentioned. (Perhaps something to do with already having version 13, from a previous giveaway ?) Since the prior version was already installed and working, I did not mess with this new version absent said reg key, and have the possibility of ruining any presence of the program on this computer. Since the "of the Day" has come and gone, and the install time factor on these things is generally strict, I should now probably just toss the 14 installer file and wait for the next version ?

I happen to believe that we need to have on call more than one of several program categories to cover various contingencies that come up, so I maintain three web browsers, 2 or 3 of this and 2 or 3 of that. It is very much the same with players. For example, I've had to run through VLC and a couple others on occasion, to confirm the presence of subtitles that were supposed to be there in a particular video file, but which for unknown reasons did not show up in one player although they did so when the file was played on another player. That sort of thing.

I have found Zoom to be a capable addition to the roster of players. That said, I'd like to find out where to tone down its auto-play intrusiveness, which can be annoying at times.

I did not download this software as I'm using something else but what I like very much is activity of Inmatrix team during the giveaway time. It does not happen very often that developers' team is reacting o all comments/questions almost immediately. Looks very professional and customer friendly. THANKS for that.

WOW! at $87.95 USD for Purchase Zoom Player MAX LIFETIME FREE UPGRADES!

You're not exactly enticing People to BUY your product.

I haven't installed the download yet but I'm VERY SURPRISED you aren't offering some sort of Discount Coupon for people buying a license as a result of Today's GiveawayOfTheDay Offer

Where's the download link? I subscribed to newsletter and confirmed my email subscription.

I loaded the program on my old XP computer and during installation that my op system wouldn't support the program, however it kept on running until the program was installed. When I tried to play a new dvd, the result was that the disc wasn't recognized and left a message that "No disc found". I don't understand this since all other player work.

"Supported Operating Systems"

Windows only.

Port your player to other Operating Systems such as MAC and Linux.

Good software - get it while you can

Blows VLC out of the water

Such a sophisticated media player, and does it support Tuners
TV DVB-T USB for Laptop, digital terrestrial TV DVB-T player

fast channel switching

Checked this player out a couple years ago, could never justify paying 80.00 for player that is just okay, installed this latest version, nothing that special, same old options, just too limited in features and options, Nothing special in the features, like others have said, compared to FREE players like Potplayer, light alloy and VLC players like this.
This Program really needs many improvements and enhancement options & features to make worthwhile.
So many better free Media players with much better options.
Unless missed in my testing of this new version:
***Player still cannot even play most common M3U8 format, so all these saved playlists are useless in ZOOM, plus, apparently you can only save new edited playlist in ZOOM as only in ZPL format, that none of these other players could recognize or play.
***ZOOM still in 2018, does not even have a basic Super Hot MP4 or (Video/audio Playlist Crossfading feature) is the hottest video feature out, so we can watch music videos and clips , in a mix as many other players have been able to do for years!
***Player still lacks Addtl Superhot video/audio Options could make avail even if by external video/audio Plugins, VST Effects etc)
To auto remove hissing or feedback noises in video or audio.
***(Video 5.1 Surround option would be nice, but also could not find any options or sound effect to max or boost video sound without clipping or distorting or sound effect to max or boost all video sound, to highest best sounding Same Equal Levels without clipping or distorting, so sound does not jump back & forth too high or too low.
***(Option to (Auto correct) all common video resolution, lighting or sound problems with little time and fuss required .
***Also would be better to have a complete music audio manager option of all songs and playlists on Ipod or mp3 player, so can back up, or transfer Back & forth all playlists songs from Ipods to PC without using Itunes or other 3rd party software.
Again, a decent player, but how do you justify paying 80.00 for player that is just okay, and with so many better FREE players with features. (Rated 3 out of 5 stars)

Interestingly enough, Inmatrix uploaded 2 Zoom Players on Major Geeks just 4 days ago. Both apps are the same size and both are versions 14.2.0 which makes them, supposedly, newer than the one offered here today. One is a Freeware and the other is the MAX Shareware. Same can be seen at Softpedia too.
Still, Zoom Player is a very neat, comprehensive and chock full of goodies application that will not disappoint anyone even if an ironclad VLC or Pot supporter. I made it my default player.

Nice! Even Windows XP friendly!

I was forced to received the download via my email address as there was no option to the Facebook. I reluctantly supplied my email address. However once I opened the email I found I was required to sign up for newsletter in order to receive the download link. That was the deal breaker for me. Maybe I can opt out of these newsletters. I will never know because I won't do it. Keep your player. Thank you for the offer but I will stick with my free, no hassle media player.

As per comment #9:

Seems like BLA's comment may not have been that far off. Sorry BLA.

In as much as I was critical of Spyhunter, I ran it by Virus total & was surprised to see this:

https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/957444be515b57da13171fae76252e954943d032c908297466fa03517a468e7e/detection

Perhaps Inmatrix might care to weigh in on this ??

Thanks,
Frank

Does it work in 'safe mode' ?

Seems that it does not do anymore than VLC does, and VLC is freeware. No thanks.

Specs indicate this will run on XP. Downloaded and tried to install on XP system, got a message that the operating system was not supported. Tried both Standard and Legacy versions, no luck. XP not supported?

This is a VERY versatile media player. I've used it to investigate on dance videos. I slowed down playback and at the same time I zoomed into the video (to the feet of the dancer). A feature (set) I don't know from any other player.
But well, if you are just the "press play and watch" type of person, Zoom Player is not a must; any player will do. But for (special) features, Zoom Player is the go-to player of choice.

Came up as having three indications on VirusTotal Scan, might be false positives, who knows.

Probably just stay with MPC!

Video picture quality is of course dependent on the display panel & its settings &/or calibration, but with newer codecs like H.264 [AVC] & H.265, the GPU [Graphics Processor] also plays an important role -- if the Windows device you're using has a low end CPU/GPU, it's simply not possible to get the very best video display. That's NOT to say it can't look Very good -- just that there are limits you can't get past.

The Zoom Player does lots of media center type stuff, but it also enhances the picture you see -- if you're playing Blu-ray quality [or better] to a decent 4k display, it'll look better than using something like VLC or Windows Media Player. So will PowerDVD Ultra, which also can handle everything on a new release Blu-ray [it always goes on sale for ~$30 eventually]. So will MPC-HC, though it can be more work to set up the filters.

Additional tools you might look at include madVR, LAV Filters, & the Codec Tweak Tool, which may help regardless the player you're using. madVR is intended to do a better job of rendering the picture to the display vs. the code that comes with Windows. There's an awful lot going on *under the hood* when you're playing video -- LAV Filters is intended to do a better job of that end of things vs. what Windows does on its own. The Codec Tweak Tool can help make sure you're using the codecs that work best with your device. You won't be able to take full advantage of what they have to offer with something like the lowly Celeron that's in the miniPC hooked up to our living room TV, but they can make some types of video watchable, though they're not necessary with regular Blu-ray.

Does this player work with Logitech Harmony remotes? How do i find it in the Harmony database?

Не скачивается . Просит почту и на этом СТОП

I use VLC and PotPlayer where does this differ or is it anyway better?

Can somebody help me with a serious if naive question? Most of the time (but not everytime), if I want to play regular DVDs, in Zoom Player (Max free 13.something) I only see the individual VOB, ZOT or whatever container files in that DVD, and I then can even see some minutes of the film in question, then I must look out for some other such file on the DVD, whilst other players (but I have thrown out the paid ones for their multiple problems, no sound, no image, crashes, etc., etc.: WinDVD and PowerDVD), e.g. K5, play the film in its entirety.

I obviously haven't grasped Zoom yet, but delving for hours in their "help" section hasn't been successful for me either.

Thus, could some charitable soul explain to me, and, I suppose, thousands of others not having the adequate IQ to run Zoom adequately, HOW I would probably install the (which ones?) necessary "drivers" or other add-ons/ins, in order to make my Zoom Player max some acceptable, generic video player? (Without Blue-Ray, but without fuss for the rest of it.)

Is this a music media center as well as video? I'm looking for an iTunes replacement and have not found a suitable one yet.

Does this reqire the DRM identifeir? Last proggy had to d-load separite DRM indentifire and comp got virus...

What version is it because I have version 14.0.0.1400 already installed?

Where is the registration Key at. I installed the 14.2 and now it is asking me for the registration key, usually it is in a read first doc.

I already have V13.5 from a SOS giveaway.

Is there anything in this version that is different from 13.5?

Please note: the giveaway license does not support upgrades to future versions. Do not install updates if you want to keep the giveaway license

Will it play VOB files?

Was this 'MAX' series formerly called 'PRO' ?

... deas this SW have anything really special warranting using it instead of, say, VLC player (which I have been using for more than 15 years and have not seen anything better)?

This one is filled with more than 600 UPS according to Spyhunter. Take care out there..

I'd like to see a speed change option. For things I do sometimes I'd like to speed some up to view it quicker, or to slow it down as much as half speed (or slower) to study motions and viewing in slo-motion. Both are important to things I do and it is the main reason I use other things like VLC media player to be able to do those 2 things. Thanks for reading.

Does anyone know if Zoom Player can play .apk video files? Perhaps the developer can say?

I use PotPlayer for many years. What does this player has that PotPlayer doesn't?

Zoom Player is a good player But the only drawback the skin is bad If it were simple it would be nicer

Can it play Bluray disks and movies???

I got this at another give away and it is an excellent player, better than free alternatives. It will play anything, video looks crispy and smooth.

absolutely the best media player I've ever used....started back at version 8.3
and since then I've never used or needed another...a really big thumbs up for this one!!
