Video

Unlike music software, video players and converters are usually separated into two types of software. Here are our two picks for the top app for each use.

  • GOM Media Player

    GOM Media Player

    VLC Media Player is aways the most popular free video player on Download.com, and to be sure, it's a great one, but our pick this for 2012 is the slightly less popular GOM. You can't go wrong with either pick (and both are now bundled with search opt-outs) but GOM's video playback seems a bit faster to load and tighter overall these days. VLC provides more options for playing music, but for videos, GOM is our pick for 2012.
