"The BEST player ever"
Pros: This player is great, and is the only player I use most of the time. It is simple, easy to control, and yet is the most powerful player I have ever used. It can handle almost every file type I through at it, even when windows media player, or even power DVD won't work. The best feature is its file recovery, have you ever had a video downloaded that is slightly corrupt and so won't work in windows media player? The chances are that this program will work, as it has a stunning method for recovering files. Also, unlike some users say, it is possible to control the player in full screen, by either right clicking, or by using space for pause etc. I like this because it means no silly things pop up if you just move the mouse, like with WMP, as I use my mouse downstairs in the living room, and so it is often thrown around like a remote control.
Cons: The ONLY problem I have ever found with this program is that it does not support real file. I have downloaded real alternative as I absolutely despise real player. If it did support real files, the only players I would use would be VLC, and Google video player.
