To view the video, special programs are needed - video players. There are a lot of such players on the Internet of the Internet, however, one of the best is KMPlayer. But not everyone comes to taste because of his little inconvenient management, some simply do not pull, but some do not like advertising or some more trifle. It is for such people we will consider the list of KMPlayer competitors in this article.
KMPlayer is one of the best and most reliable video players, which occupies an important place for many users. It has a huge feature (from subtitles to 3D), it is very easily customizable and has a pleasant design. However, not everyone falls in the soul (most often due to advertising), but due to lack of information, people do not know which replacement to choose this player. What we will understand below.
Windows Media Player.
This is a standard player in any Windows operating system, which can be a rather controversial substitute for KMPlayer. There are no frills in it, everything is clear, concisely and understandable for any number of users. Basically, it is designed to an audience that do not have extensive experience when working with a computer, or just there is no case until all sorts of hard functions, because they are still suited.
Of the minuses, the unsuppressedness of very many video formats is very highlighted. Of course, the most popular it will easily reproduce, but such as * .wav, hardly. Of the advantages, I want to highlight simplicity and ease, because it almost does not load the RAM.
Media Player Classic
Another pretty famous player among inexperienced users. The program also does not stand out by some set of functions or convenience, it simply is a working tool that performs what is required of it. Of course, the functionality is more here than in the same Media Player, but still does not compare with KMPlayer.
Among the advantages are especially allocated simplicity, and it is a minus, everything already depends on the type of users who uses this video player.
Zoom Player.
This little-known player is also quite simple in terms of functionality, and the same concise, as well as the previous two, however, it is not popular due to the weak work of the developer marketing department. The program is distributed free of charge, but does not have a Russian language, and, plus it is incorrectly working on Windows 10, which is promised to fix in the future.
QuickTime.
A simple, capable of reproducing different formats The player was not widely popular with the public, however, can become a replacement of KMPlayer if you want something simple, moreover, without advertising and completely free. There are lists of favorites, streaming video and several more fairly interesting features that are more than in a standard player. The player itself is a bit heavy and loads the system very much.
However, if there was little formats in Windows Media Player, which he could support, then they are even smaller here. Plus, the window size is not manually adjustable, which is very uncomfortable.
PotPlayer.
This player is already reminded by a full and functional video player. It has almost everything, there is a video setting, sound, subtitles. There are also broadcasts and can be changed. In principle, the option is quite good, and not very heavy, so that the system will not be loaded particularly. Of the minuses in this program, only the fact that it was not fully transferred to Russian, and in some places English words can meet, but this does not greatly affect his work.
Gom Player.
This player will already fully compose KMPlayer competition. It has almost all the functionality that is in KMP, plus, it is very convenient in control. It also has some other elements that are not even in KMP, such as screen capture or playing a VR video. Unfortunately, it also has advertising, but in principle, it is not so important, the player is really very good and has very high popularity among different types of users.
MKV Player.
Another is not a very multifunctional player that can be temporary, and maybe the constant replacement of KMPlayer, if you are not an amateur of all kinds of frills. The program has everything you need and no longer. The program has a very uncomfortable interface and quite few features, and, in addition, it does not support Russian. Sometimes there are problems when working with the program, and the developers are not going to be harmful.
Light Alloy.
This video player is the most obvious KMPlayer competitor. If it has no more functions than in KMP, then the same. The program has fully customizable hotkeys. The program has subtitles, convenient playlists, video and audio settings, as well as subtitles. Plus to all this, the program is very convenient and has the ability to select an audio track. There is a design of popular players, including WMP, which allows you to get used to the interface faster.
There are no minuses in the program, but pluses just do not count. Among them allocate supporting all known video formats, a unique control menu that may seem unusual, but is actually very convenient. Plus to this all, the program does not very much loading the system and has no annoying advertising.
BSPlayer.
Not bad video player with a very extensive set of supported video formats. It has quite a few features, among which its own library is allocated, designed to conveniently manage playlists. In addition to a good functional for working with video, there is also a toolkit for working with audio, on which video players are usually not focused. There are also plugins with which you can expand the capabilities of the program, which is also not either in KMPlayer or in Light Alloy.
Pluses the player also has a lot and among the minuses there is only an uncomfortable interface, to which it is difficult to get used to.
Crystal Player.
Another simple player that has some settings and a small functionality. The program has video and audio settings, saving bookmarks and several other basic functions.
Supports a large number of formats, but has a rather unusual interface, like BSPlayer.
As you can see, alternatives KMPlayer a lot, but not every can compare with such a powerful video player. The main competitor, of course, is considered Light Alloy, because it has the same functional and plus, in some moments it is even more convenient. However, they both are a bit heavy (at least La and easier), and for this reason the user can consider other options. In addition, you should never postpone the good old WMP, which still uses a lot of a lot of people, despite its simplicity, and maybe it is thanks to her. And what video player do you use, write in the comments?
