Gom Player 2.3.96 reviews

for opening a mkv file, my gom player asked for some codec. wen i downloaded it , i cant install it... how should i install the codec for gom player?

i agree that it is a great media player, but after downloaded updated version it plays all videos upside down n mirrored, iv tried downloading again but still the same. can any1 help because i hate to go to wmp!

A good player, but definately needs to address the CODEC issue. So many Torrent AVI's do not play due to missing CODEC's even on the newest edition GOM Player.

Gom never can find the appropriate CODEC, So you end up installing VLC and a bunch of other players in the hope of a lucky dip to get the video running.

The Pro's would have to be the Audio Equalizer which tunes up those horrible 128KBS Avi audio streams into quality audio, try the "treble" selection under the AUDIO/Equalizer setting for re-tuning those nasty high bass audio streams on your AVI rips.

This is chinese thief work - they steal open source software and do not follow the rules of the license. I think we should boycott this bastards: http://www.ffmpeg .org/shame.html

IT CAN PLAY ALL MEDIA FILES SO I LIKE THIS PLAYER.

How do i make this thing use external filters.
The thing is that ., when i play .mkv or AVC based media it can't play smoothly.
It kinda sticks for a second and jumps another second forward.
So i am trying to make it use Haali which i installed form Strom codec.
So, can anyone help me?

GOM is a decent media player. I've used for about a month now, on and off. I just wish it would come with internal codecs that it needs installed into it own program folder instead of the operating system. Easy to use, clean interface, good controls and playback is smooth. If the required codec is not found by GOM during playback, it will direct you to download the required codec. 4 of 5 stars.

At the bottom where are the blacklisted mplayer projects you should find a link to gomplayer... ;) Use mplayer, it is the best media mplayer in the universe... ; )

Uh... not it's not.

I really like GOM player. Over the years, I've tried a PILE of players (MPC, BSPlayer, VLC, Zoom, etc, etc, etc.) GOM player works best for me. I can make it change the output of my vid card to a specified resolution when switching to full screen. So good so far!

In short, it is a BIG Shot. Simply gr8888888888888888888888888888888888

I really love GOM player, but I'm having trouble getting it to play the Audio on my Superman Returns DVD. I had to install the Mpeg2DS codec to get video, but that was a cinch.

Anyone else have problem w/ DVD Audio?

This player is excellent, especially during fast seeking/forward/backward...MPC and VLC kinda bad during fast seeking/forward/backward.

Just one question, can I uninstall all my other codes - ffdshow?

This little player is that unknown warrior who ends up beating everyone...

I heard about GOM completely by chance when someone mentioned in in a forum. At the time I was happy using JetAudio with CCCP for my audio and video (those two are dark horses that work amazingly well) and VLC for everything else I couldn't play.

That said, I didnt really need anything else, but I gave this a try and WOW. It plays everything just like VLC, runs quickly and smoothly like CCCP and is user-friendly, configurable and skinnable like JetAudio. PERFECT

I have been using it for 2 weeks now and tested it on many types of video, including the more rare types and it handled them all without a single glitch. even the YouTube/flash .flv and .swf and mobile phone .mp4 and.3gp worked. You really don't need anything else to play videos.

It's not completely perfect though. It does have the odd glitch whenever I play a video with external subtitles where it skips a line or two. Not sure if that's my fault for changing something or not. Also, dragging the player makes my whole screen blink like its having a seizure and again... not sure if that's just me.
These are minor issues though and nothing huge.

Basically if all you have is VLC and need nothing else then you might as well stick with it. But if you see the odd video which VLC doesn't play or you want to configure and tinker with your player in a less complicated way, then GOM is the one.

it is a good work and Amaizing player,

To Tom: If GOM Player doesn't have a codec of its own to play a specific file, it will try to use codecs otherwise installed on ones system, just like other players. If the required codec is not installed, not only GOM Player but any player that uses external codecs (viz. nearly all of them) will be unable to play the file. In such cases, to play the video, it is required to find and install the regular codec.

GSpot is a good tool to identify which one it is, and a good site to find it is, of course, free-codecs.com. Alternatively, for users who don't like to bother with the details but prefer a less perfect but also less effort solution, installing an up-to-date and relatively stable codec pack (like K-Lite) is a quick, one-size-fits-them-all fix.
