Why I went back to Zoom Player

Posted by: lolfang In: Software

You know, I was using Gom Player since a long time, mostly for it’s Control Panel with subtitles timing and stuff. But its horrid MKV support, even after lots of users reported them that it sucked, was never fixed. So I uninstalled it. Then I downloaded The KMPlayer. Nice! Displayed MKV files correctly, but now the subtitles do not have styles.

Why I don’t like MPC: Home Cinema? Playlist. Guess what. Sucks. And VLC is out of the question, useful for displaying Real Media files, but still… sucks.

So I went back to Zoom Player. Haven’t used it since… two years ago. Now it’s on version 6.0 and most awesome as ever. But I cannot enable DXVA.

So my current setup is the following:

  • Main (Anime): Zoom Player + CCCP
  • AVI+SRT (Movies, occidental series): The KMPlayer

Not that it cares, but currently there is no perfect player for everything. Zoom Player should support subtitle timings and DXVA…

Edit!

Well, I could make Zoom Player support DXVA thanks to an MPC decoder, but when I use DXVA, no subtitles are shown… über fail from the InMatrix staff.

And I could make Zoom Player to work fine in my PC, just had to raise the CPU usage to High, no problems.
