Pros
Has all the right features for a player.
Cons
Promoted as playing .mov files, but fails to do so on a computer that already plays these files with another player. <p> <p>Website no longer active so that just about tells you where the program is at.

Why pay $20 if there are free players around? I personally use the RealOne Player for most and the Microsoft Media Player for the rest. I tried to play a *.viv file and it said I should first use MediaPlayer to download the codec! Why do I need this program then? The free standard player work fine enough, so I can spend my money on much more important programs! Unfortunately MediaPlayer does not play *.viv either...
Didn't play .MOV files. ?
