Editor's review of GOM Media Player
stars
- "Jockeying for your musical attention"
- Version reviewed: GOM Media Player 2.1.18.4762
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.

"As good as any, and better than most, other players"
Pros: Nice appearance. Good user interface. Pretty much every feature is configurable e.g. easy to change aspect ratio and zoom/stretch picture. Good control of audio. Easy to load sub titles, delay/advance audio Played everything I have tried
Cons: It doesn't come with CODECS (unlike VLC player) - this must be the issue for those who have had problems getting it to play some AVIs. You'll need latest CODECs installed e.g. for VISTA 32 http://www.free-codecs.com/vista_codec_package_download.htm
Summary: Best free player I have used. Previously I used VLC and MPCstar and I prefer GOM - it's really well design player - it is very configurable, but defaults are also fine. Something new/ modern looking about it - makes VLC look old fashioned. Perhaps i... read more >>
