"Pretty good player but help/tech support is really bad."
Version: KMPlayer 3.6.0.87
Pros
Loved the fact that I could capture short clips of video in real time without having to rip the file to my HD. Good player, plays everything.
Cons
No real manual with instructions. One monitor responded to a question I had regarding what files I was able to capture video from, with a response he seems to give everyone. He never checked back to see if his suggestion worked(it didn't). No one else responded to forum question. Messaged KMPlayer via Contact option, never heard back. Posted my question in a different forum, still no response.
I just wanted to know whether avi files were the only file I could capture video from or was I supposed to be able to capture from any video file type.Summary
I've gone from being excited about this software to being meh and it's all about the tech help/support. I know it's free software, so I shouldn't expect anything but it's a pretty flashy and a good player-help people use it to best of its capabilities

"Takes over your codecs and your computer."
Version: KMPlayer 3.6.0.87
Pros
Plays nicely and is great as a stand-alone player. This is the lowest number of stars I have ever given so be sure you read my cons.
Cons
Adds its own codecs that re designate files so they play by default on KMP even if KMP is not your default player; it does this by placing a KMP prefix on all codecs.
These corrupt codecs somehow become the default codecs on simple download engines.
Defeats VLC so that it can no longer be designated as default player.
Makes some files impossible to delete or place in recycle bin.
Makes many other strange things appear on your computer.
If you try to delete it, many more strange things happen to your computer so that it seems like the only way out is to reinstall it and some way work around it.Summary
CNET needs to look at this program closely and figure out what is going on with it. It is not the CNET downloader but the KMP program itself that is at fault.

"Does everything but Blu-Ray. Add that for 5 stars."
Version: KMPlayer 3.6.0.87
Pros
Pretty, fast and capable of about any file type. Nice options.
Cons
Would be better with Blu-Ray, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Instant, etc. but some of that may well be in the future.
Summary
My go to app now for video files.
