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.

• New Video Orbiting System (Options -> Values -> Playback)
• New Setting (Options -> OSD -> Navigators) allowing you to disable file extensions from showing up on the File,
• Media Library and Play List Navigators
• The List Based Navigators are now more easy to navigate using the mouse
• New Scene Cut feature allowing you to "End" Playback (and proceed to the next file on the Play List)
• The Arrow keys Toggle has been split into Left/Right and Up/Down toggles, each can be assigned a different set of functions and more functions can now be assigned to the arrow keys
• New Function ("H" on keyboard) to Enable/Disable Source Relative Stretch
• Changing the Skin-Tint is now done without having to reload the skin
• Switching between DVD and Media mode now tries to match the Video area of both skins so it remains unchanged
• The ResizeBox skin function can now be used multiple times to define more than one resize area point
• The default skin has been modified to improve usability
• Slight modification to the default DVD Context Menu
• Unused context menu entries are now disabled
• Bug fixes
