In a market that is flooded with so many media players, Zoom Player tries to be two media players in one - an easy to use, no fuss multi-media one and an innovative, advanced one packed with almost every imaginable customization and tweaking option available. It is a very unique offering and given the way things are going, chances are you will find exactly what you are looking for in Zoom Player when you find your current media player lacking on some department. This software has been around since 1998 and despite the many advancements in technology, this player remains as popular as ever thanks to its sheer usability. There are different versions of this software available to suit individual needs but if you are on a tight budget, you can settle for the free trial version to see if it suits your needs before taking a final decision.
The free version of this wonderful software is perfectly sufficient to serve the purposes of a regular consumer. It does have all the basic features that you would come to expect from a decent digital video recorder but what sets it apart from the others is that it also incorporates some cool features that make it stand out among its peers. For instance, because this player has specialized hardware that enables it to convert video to digital data, it can immediately convert an incoming video signal to an analog signal, eliminating unnecessary noise. The resulting analog signal is then stored on a hard drive that is connected to your personal computer. With the help of this software, you can easily transfer videos, images and audio to your hard drive or portable media player.
Although Zoom Player offers free software that allows it to instantly convert and streamline video capture, there are other options that you can choose to get the same result. If for example, you do not want to spend money on purchasing software, you can instead use a good quality software downloaded from the internet, such as Windows Media Player to take care of the conversion process. As mentioned earlier, when you download the software, it installs two players in one - the Zoom Player and Windows Media Player - so you can easily switch between the two by simply setting the software preferences.
