Any Media Player2014

Media files come in a variety of formats, each with their respective properties and requirements. Once your video and audio collections start growing in size, they also become more cumbersome to handle using the same media utility.Any Media Player aims to solve this inconvenience by allowing you to open and render all sorts of formats using the same application.

Control the playback speed and rewind videos

The speed at which a movie is played can be manipulated using the built-in player controls that enable you to slow down or increase the playback speed according to your personal preferences. This is especially useful when the video contains fast-moving objects and you need to play it in slow motion to discern what is happening.Like most players, Any Media Player displays a progress slider you can use to skip through the file, but you can also turn to keyboard shortcuts to quickly jump 1, 10 or 60 seconds in both directions. They can also be reached by accessing the Play menu.

Change the aspect ratio and audio output settings

The default resolution and aspect ratio can be modified to fit 4:3, 16:9 or 23.5:10 display profiles without distortions and quality loss. If you are unsure about the recommended settings for your personal monitor, the application can auto-detect the supported aspect ratio.Besides the video settings, Any Media Player enables you to tweak and configure the audio rendering according to your preferences. You can choose between Win32 and DirectSound output, depending on what works best on your machine.

In conclusion

Any Media Player is an all-inclusive solution for your media library that can open and render a wide variety of formats without any additional codec packs required. Convenience is the word that best describes it, but it does lack a few features to make it an adequate day-to-day media player.Proper playlist support and advanced video control options are sacrificed for simplicity and versatility, but all in all, Any Media Player is a useful tool that does not disappoint.
