The software has a few features you will really like, and I think truthfully that it only has features you will actually use. The player has a clean look, like Quicktime, which makes for minimal distraction while playing. Users who object to the cluttered and nerdy appearance of VLC will like Elmedia. It’s elegant, but like VLC, it has added playlist functionality. If you play a lot of streamed videos, or better yet project them, then the screen-flipping features of Elmedia will appeal. If your projector is ceiling-mounted or are back-projecting your videos, even more so. Users for whom English is a second language will enjoy the subtitling options and formats it supports, superior to Quicktime in every way. Plus you get all the online subtitle-searching features of VLC but in a more streamlined and easy-to-find format. Playing videos is easy and fun, the menu controls are precise and you can play back at different speeds, even in slow motion. Unlike Quicktime, which can take ages to buffer and play large videos, Elmedia was instant play. I suspect it compresses the files a little for smooth playback, or perhaps it doesn’t wait for the whole video to load into memory before it plays and streams it instead. There are some real-time manipulations you can apply while playing, too, and these are processed instantly. For example, with horizontal and vertical flipping of the image or even rotating it while playing, the playback doesn’t even slow down. The pros of upgrading to the paid version is that you get additional features, like downloading online videos, extracting MP3s from YouTube videos, broadcast to Chromecast, DLNA-enabled Smart TVs and Apple Airplay and various other playback enhancements. The only features I’m missing, and this is not even really a con, is some form of file conversion as you had in Quicktime 7. But as this player plays all file types seamlessly in real time without conversion, you really have no pressing need for that feature. #Elmedia player pro for free#ĬonclusionĮlmedia Player is available for free download, and many features are available in the trial version. But to unlock all the advanced features you have to pay, but it’s a very reasonable $19.95, so it won’t break the bank.
