Zoom Player is a robust media and DVD front-end player. It was designed to be simple at first glance while being remarkably dynamic and flexible when used to its full potential. It works in two modes: a Media mode which can play any file supported by DirectShow (any file which plays in MediaPlayer) and a DVD mode which uses pre-installed DirectShow DVD filters to play DVD content. It supersedes media player in all it's functions and provides several important functions that media player lacks. It provides special zooming functions to improve TV-output quality by eliminating overscan. This Pro version includes DVD Front-End Capabilities and requires registration.

Changelog, v3.30b1:

The Options Dialog has been split in two
New "System" Options dialog, allowing you to see an overview of which codecs on your system are available for the various audio and video formats and wrappers and which are missing which may prevent proper playback
It seems that Vorbis Audio in an OGG container is not the same thing as Vorbis Audio in a Matroska container
You can now specify a forced Sub-Type identification on Customized Media Mode Source Filter profiles
Can now associate the ".MID" Midi Audio extension
New setting (Options / Settings / Playback) that allows you to select whether the Speed Control on the User Interface is used for "Fast Forward/Rewind" or "Fast
Play/Slow Motion" as it was in previous versions (v3.10 and older)
New setting (Options / OSD / Navigators) allowing you to decide whether you want "Play all files in this Directory" to appear in the File and Media Library Navigators
Included support for Matroska Aspect Ratio handling
When playing matroska files with multiple audio tracks, you will now be able to see the track name alongside the language
Alt+"I" will now Minimize the Player
More changes to the default settings to make them friendlier to a new user
Restructured the Right-Click context menu to be a bit more useful and less cluttered
Playing a Media file containing two video streams in Customized Media mode will have Zoom Player intercept the second video stream and connect it to a null renderer so no other video window will pop-up
Window snapping is now smoother and also made on vertical/horizontal matches
The Next/Previous buttons on the DVD Skin Control Bar were set to the wrong function
Fixed a couple of inaccuracies in the Auto-Segment loading code
A chapter file saved when the media file was on a read-only media (such as a CD) wasn't saved under the right name and was basically useless
Play List formats were not being listed on the File and Media Library navigators
Having the Internal Zoom Player Audio DSP filter enabled with the InterVideo Audio Decoder could cause audio issues if you change the number of audio-channel output while playing
Small cosmetic bug fixed dealing with folder images scaling to fullscreen even though the setting was set not to
8 Bit Buffer Processing fix to the Zoom Player Audio DSP filter
