Announcing Zoom Player v19 beta 1What's new in this beta: * Zoom Player has integrated libVLC, the media engine used by the VLC media player. This integrating means that several new features that were unique to VLC are now available in Zoom Player, leveraging the reliability of VLC with Zoom Player's powerful and customizable user interface. In theory, Zoom Player's default choice of Microsoft's DirectShow media engine is superior to libVLC in a lot of ways. DirectShow is a lower-level, allowing me to develop unique features that are impossible to do with libVLC. At the same time and due to it's complexity, there may be cases where libVLC can be more reliable than DirectShow. By default only BluRay discs play using libVLC due to libVLC's support for playing BluRay discs with menus. However, since this is Zoom Player you're reading about, the ultimate choice of which engine to use is up to you! You can enable libVLC specifically for BluRay discs, IPTV streaming, media playback (by file extension) and open-ended streaming (by URL, for example "youtube") under the new advanced options section (Adv. Options / Playback / libVLC). To use libVLC you must either install the latest version of the 32bit VLC player or install libVLC from the install center (it does not conflict with existing VLC installations). Most Zoom Player features are compatible with the new media engine: - BluRay Playback with Menus! Enabled by default, opening a drive, folder or the "index.bdmv" file begins BluRay playback. Menus are navigated using the standard navigation keys (up/down/left/right Arrows + Enter keys). The same limitation that apply to playing BluRay discs in VLC applies when using the libVLC media engine in Zoom Player, along with any glitches. This means that you must have Java installed for the BluRay menus to work and that playing encrypted discs will not work by default. As for the glitches, I encountered cases where 4K BluRay videos can freeze and verified that the same issue happens in the original VLC player. - Aspect Ratio Controls: Zoom Player's powerful aspect ratio controls are fully supported. - Subtitle Display: Other than re-positioning the subtitles on-screen, most of Zoom Player subtitle features should work great with libVLC. - Add Subtitle Track on Drag & Drop / Add Sub file: You can easily add subtitle files by drag & dropping files on Zoom Player's window or by opening a subtitle file after the video is loaded. - Subtitle Synchronization Adjustments: You can adjust subtitle synchronization through the standard keyboard macros (Alt+Ctrl+"+" and Alt+Ctrl+"-" on the keypad). - Color Controls: Brightness, Contrast, Saturation and Hue color controls are available. - Audio Framework Device Selection: libVLC is pretty flexible in it's audio device selection offering three different frameworks (MMDevice, DirectSound and WaveOut). Zoom Player makes it easy to choose the framework that works best for your PC. - Audio Track Selection & Cycle: Easily select and cycle between multiple audio tracks. - Audio Synchronization Adjustments: You can adjust audio synchronization using the

Have to update the included software after installation by running the PowerDVD program once, and then clicking the link provided to install the newer version.Anyway, it's copy-protection stuff that's the issue, so, no way around it, really. I tried nearly everything. PowerDVD. That's the one I was mentioning at the end of #3. Also, my BluRay wasn't bought seperately. It came pre-installed into the PC. The only Disc's given to me were the backup discs for my default system and a copy of Webroot(Amazing BTW). My BluRay never came with any type of software disc nor did there exist anything ON my computer that claimed itself as the software for it. My BluRay always just autoplayed with Windows Media Player. A few months later, my friend showed me VLC and I used that up until late 2011. I've watched AVATAR maybe.... 9 times on my computer using VLC."only a very limited number of discs will play."It's honestly not even that. Not even AVATAR will play anymore and as I mentioned, that was kind of my baseline testing BluRay to make sure BluRay still worked because it worked so many times before. It doesn't anymore."I have to update the included software after installation by running the PowerDVD program once, and then clicking the link provided to install the newer version."Is there a utility in PowerDVD that updates your drivers? As the pictures above show, my PC insists that my Drivers are of the latest caliber. Does PowerDVD install something else to
