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 2.0.9.3360
Pros: Virtually everything. It's light and fast, aesthetically more appealing than most other players, built in codecs (which you can enable or disable) which gets rid of the need to have bothersome codec packs, FREE... and probably best of all, has just about everything your favorite player does, but perhaps more.
Cons: None to think of.

Version: GOM Media Player 2.0.9.3360
Pros: It literally plays all my video files. I remember how cumbersome it was to find the right codec to play files i downloaded off the web and stuff.. but this one has codecs built-in like VLC so it's awesome. Im gonna use this instead of VLC cuz it's so much easier to use and prettier. i also had some files that were broken or something and wouldnt play on WMP, but GOM plays those too.
Cons: cant think of any yet.

Version: GOM Media Player 2.0.9.3360
Pros: My search is over! Only video player I've seen with A-B repeat for wmv and avi files. PowerDVD has A-B repeat, but only works for me on an actual DVD. Also has built-in equalizer, picture looks better than other players using built in codecs, Huge amount of control for advanced users, nice add to playlist interface, advanced screen capture with auto interval capture. Such a great and complete player, I can't believe it's free. I would be happy to donate $ on this one!
Cons: So far no cons
