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.
* Zoom Player now includes an integrated key editor allowing you to
assign Zoom Player functions to any key or compatible Multimedia
device (such as Multimedia keyboards and 4-Button Mice).
You can edit the keys separately for either DVD or Media modes through
the Advanced Options Key dialog by pressing the “Edit” button next to
the custom key file selection.
Pressing Edit with no key file specified will allow you to select a
new file in which to save the updated key map.
* New Station Navigator allowing you to navigator through Radio Stations.
* New Setting (Advanced Options / Settings / Interface) allowing you
to have a hint box pop when the mouse cursor is over the timeline
indicating where the seek would go when clicked (enabled by default).
* New “/DVDBM” Command Line Parameter allowing you to specify a DVD
bookmark file from command line. For example:
“/dvdbm:c:zplayerDVD-BookmarksDVDVOLUME.2E662BB6D20F0ECFstart.chp”
* New Customized Media Profiles for the new OpenSource DScaler decoders
(MPEG/AC3/DTS Audio and MPEG-2 Video).
* Radio Stations are now based on user defined names instead of just
the URL. You can also rename stations now.
* New Button on the “Advanced Options / Association” page allowing you
to set the Zoom Player icon to all associated file extensions.
* Support for the FFDShow RAW Video Processor Sub-Filter as a DVD
Post-Processing filter. This filter comes with newer (as of the
last few months) of FFDShow and doesn’t require you to enable RAW
mode in the filter dialog itself.
* New Customized DVD Profile for the GPL DVD/MPEG decoder:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gplmpgdec/
* New Dummy Function (doesn’t do anything, can be useful for skinning).
* New Keyboard Macro (Ctrl+”U”) and Function (fnSceneCutToggle) allowing
you to enable/disable the Scene Cut feature.
+ Enhancements to Communication interface.
+ When entering hours/minutes/seconds on the GoTo dialog, entering two
digits will now go to the next cell automatically.
+ The Internal Format database has been updated with newly released
decoders (such as the DScaler filters and the improved MP3 decoder).
– DVD NumPad commands should now work outside of menus.
– Could not create new Customized Media profiles.
– Using the Mouse Wheel to move the window/video was broken.
