Zoom Player is a Highly Customizable, Feature Rich Media Player.
Designed to be simple at first glance while being remarkably dynamic and flexible when used to its fullest potential.
Zoom Player works in two modes. A Media mode which can play any file supported by DirectShow (any file which plays in Windows Media Player) and a DVD mode which uses pre-installed DirectShow DVD filters to play DVD content.
In our experience, Zoom Player (even the free version) does *not* suffer from the lag sometimes experienced with other programs, even the open-source VLC Media Player. Highly recommended for a very customizable and flexible user interface and the tons of options offered in the configuration menu which offers both a basic and advanced mode.
