Zoom Player is a robust Media and DVD Front-End Player.
It was designed to be simple at first glance while being remarkably dynamic and flexible when used to its full potential. the 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.
There are quite a few new features and several bug fixes in this release. New: * New Video Orbiting System (Options -> Values -> Playback). Video Orbiting allows you to specify a video position movement range in order to prevent screen burns on widescreen movies.
* New Setting (Options -> OSD -> Navigators) allowing you to disable file extensions from showing up on the File, Media Library and Play List Navigators.
* The List Based Navigators are now more easy to navigate using the mouse. Not too intuative as they were designed for TV-Display and not the Monitor.
* New Scene Cut feature allowing you to "End" Playback (and proceed to the next file on the Play List). This works for both Media and DVD. With DVD this allows you to play multiple DVDs in sequence. For safety reasons (to prevent infinite loops), the last Stop Position on a DVD isn't saved if the playback was stopped by an End Playback Scene Cut event.
* The Arrow keys Toggle has been split into Left/Right and Up/Down toggles, each can be assigned a different set of functions and more functions can now be assigned to the arrow keys.
