"Useless player!!"
Version: Kantaris Media Player 0.7
Pros
None!! Every update is worse than the last one!!
Cons
Nothing works and it DOES NOT play dvds!! Graphics are all crap and the sound is terrible,
Summary
I have been hoping for this player to work with all the updates it gets but its a terrible player and every update is just as bad as the last one!! The buttons all bring you back to the menu screen. Click pause, hoping to pause the film and your back at the root screen of the dvd. It won't play any new dvds either and the sound is all twisted up. Can you please try and make this at least work just once!! Im losing faith in this player as it simply does'nt work!!
Had it 5 seconds and it crashed!! Thats it im finished with this player as it has been a waste of time from the get go!! Uninstalling this rubbish now!!

"Pretty nice but not as good as Km Player,"
Version: Kantaris Media Player 0.6.9
Pros
Not quite as functional as other players.

Just about everything. Can't think of anything good about it.
Summary
Don't bother using this.

"Full of bugs"
Version: Kantaris Media Player 0.6.9
Pros
Well it will play a dvd but thats about it.
Cons
The play button brings you back to the menu screen. Infact all buttons do that. You cannot pause the film as you end up back at the menu screen.
Summary
It will play dvds but thats all, just do not expect any of the buttons to work as they don't. No pause, no rewind no nothing!! Just insert the dvd and watch the film but all buttons are useless as they all return you to the menu screen. Im here trying to find a more stable one that the buttons do work on!!

"Forget it and stick with the player you are using-"
Version: Kantaris Media Player 0.6.6
Pros
It plays the video well. But so does VLC and Gom player and I did not like the unwanted media displayed that was not my own.
Cons
Ugly player in appearance and player has limited functions.
Summary
I did not like this very much at all. although it played the video. The search bar did not search the web for my You Tube or my My Space videos like Miro video player does.It searches for music files mainly but it will play your own videos you have saved on your computer from your files. It did do this for me. But I found the player ugly in appearance,a black theme which you cannot change. And all of the media displayed which was content from the web that was not my own,reminded me of Real Player. Which I did not like.This player is probably all right if you like online TV or music but if you want to watch your own stuff. for example your own You Tube or My Space channel,then this player does not do that. It only plays the media in it's listings.And it does not have the functions of VLC,Windows Media or Gom players. So I would forget Kantaris-this player if I were you. I have. So one uninstall coming up.Andrea Borman.

"A nice, easy to use video and audio player."
Version: Kantaris Media Player 0.6.6
Pros
It has a nice user interface and a nice colour scheme.
Cons
It is a bit slow to start up and its built in database is very basic and is a bit annoying to use. Also the database doesn't have a search engine.
-
"Kantaris Media Player is very cool"
Version: Kantaris Media Player 0.6.6
Pros
It has a good handsome design and interface. It is very fast and efficient
Cons
However, it lacks a frame/snap/photo capture device while in use.
Summary
Make Kantaris better than Intervideo's windvd and it will be a classic winner. I use it most of the time despite its cons. Kindly ensure the next update has this functionality

"Good player with limitations."
Version: Kantaris Media Player 0.6.6
Pros
Any movie I want to play on it usually plays.
Cons
Files from my video cameras don't play well on it. It plays some but not others.
Summary
Good for movies but not great with cam files.

"Does not update properly"
Version: Kantaris Media Player 0.6.6
Pros
Good user interface
Cons
Does not update properly, b/c when you check for updates it says it is up to date when there is a new version out. You have to uninstall the old version and install the new version
Summary
Leaves behind god awful amount of registry entries when uninstalling/installing old/new versions
Should it gave 4 stars! Plays dvds that km player would not play, i should have known this is the real deal. Love the ui
