CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
As various media players jockey for position to become your default setting for music and video streams, GOM Media Player's support for a wide range of file formats has helped it stand out as a firm favorite.
Supported formats include DAT, MPEG, DivX, XviD, WMV, ASF, AVI, and MOV, as are common codecs like FLV1, AC3, OGG, MP4, and H263. A pop-out playlist can save and organize your various media files, though the limited sort modes--two--hardly makes it a champ.
More impressive are the customizable settings on the control panel. Here you can adjust a video's image brightness, hue, and saturation. There's no preview window, and changes occur as the video runs, so unless you care for a rousing session of trial and error, be sure to tweak the settings after clicking "play." There's also a built-in screen-capture feature that includes zooming and panning, customizable themes, hot keys, and a host of preset and adjustable audio controls.
GOM is weakest when you're looking for help documentation and trying to tweak Save settings, but overall it's a very strong player worth at least a supporting role in your video-watching habits, if not the lead.

Version: GOM Media Player 2.1.21.4846
Pros: This is a really good player and it looks better than all of the other open source contenders. However it functions, in the same manner as all of the contenders and therefore it's only normal, no better no worse.
Cons: As with all of the open source players, the audio is lacking. The only high-quality audio that I've found is in Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 64-bit. It offers thunder-pumping audio without any equalizer adjustments. U have to adjust GOM & VLC.
Summary: GOM is a good player, no better or worse than most of its competition.
