Editor's review of BS.Player

- "BS.Player doesn't mess around"
- Reviewed on: November 7, 2008
- Version reviewed: BS.Player 2.41.1003
Several years ago, BS.Player used to be one of the better multicodec free video playback applications around. It then started to be bundled with adware, popularity dropped, and other programs took up its slack. BS.Player returns now with a free version, a new interface, and new jukebox capabilities for video and audio.
The interface loads as a refurbished skin of the original dashboard, and you can even reskin the it back to its original look. Track name, length, and time elapsed are front and center, and clicking on various features, such as the elapsed time, cycles through display options. Note that the Menu tab is hidden until you mouse over it. Player controls live at the bottom, and a tab of gray options on the right expands to reveal further options for Video, DVD, Audio, Radio, and TV playback. Three circles marked ML, PL, and EQ toggle the detached Media Library, Playlist, and Equalizer panes.
The installation process checks your system for missing codecs, although you have to opt out of a BS.Player toolbar. We had no issues drag-drop-and-playing various Real, Quicktime, AVI, WMV, and MPEG-formatted videos. Also note that the new Media Library window owes much to iTunes. There's not much you can do about that, since the included skins only change the look of the dashboard. BS.Player lacks modern ancillary media functions such as seeking out album art, but you can configure ID3 tags natively. If you're feeling nostalgic for a stable media player with a familiar name but updated look and features, you can be bullish on BS.Player.

"Excellent for H.264 and avi videos on old computers"
Pros: Great video player for those who take video with their cameras. Plays avi flawlessly and H.264 almost flawlessly on old computers.
Cons: It's free, so no real downside. No way to rotate video.
Summary: Great video player for those who take video with their cameras. Plays avi flawlessly and H.264 almost flawlessly on old computers. No way to rotate video. Doesn't burn movies to DVD, but that's not what the player is for.

"Its a neat little player for all my multimedia needs!!!"
Pros: Its very good for playback of AVCHD files on weaker PCs, which otherwise could not playback them and also to play YouTube videos fullscreen
Cons: Can be a bit crashy ocassionaly, in this case you must kill the process and restart BS.Player.
Summary: - The best value multimedia on the market today (how cheaper can it get - its FREE :))
- Light (only 10MB), fast, plays AVCHD and YouTube videos directly from the net and can crunch almost any other multimedia file you throw at it.
