PotPlayer - Best Media Player at Recent Time

If you are still using KMPlayer, time to move on! 


It is PotPlayer time!!

KMP or Korean Multimedia Player was appeared in the market in 2002, developed by Kang Yong-Huee. 
In August 2007, KMP was sold to Pandora TV, a Korean video streaming company. The buy-out helped the developer continue his work to KMP, this also supports the forum and hosting etc cost.


I got to know about KMP in around 2008 and during this time KMP rocked! I recommended my friends to use it. KMP has a better interface and file handling than VLC, Media Player Classic or GOM player. 


Basically KMP did end my search for the best media player in   Windows. 


That time I had a portable player, MPlayer portable, but sad it is the portable version of MPlayer does not work on Win7. 


And I installed jetAudio from Cowon for audio playback. Cowon, which I recommend for mp3 player or portable multimedia player has the best audio player with plenty of features. jetAudio is too good.


However, I am not sure, but I guess after KMP v 2.9.3.14xx the original developer left KMPlayer. Or may be he left already but only minor updates on the original build was made by PandoraTV developers. These updates being minor was not hampering my need. 

TV Release Group Dump Xvid, I Support

I am a BitTorrent user since 2005, and from around 2006 I find that .mkv files offer better quality than .avi releases. Later as I turned more tech geek, found the advantages of X264 over XVID/DIVX codecs. DivX is already abandoned by BitTorrent release groups.

I asked desi releasers - DDR and XRG to rip in .mkv format for small size and better quality. But what they told that many users watch these rips on their DVD players which are not x264 supported and hence they have to keep releasing xvid rips. I also found that DDR is releasing same release in two versions - x264 and xvid for the convenience of the users but x264 rips go to only private trackers. That is not a big problem for me as I am member of most of the desi torrent groups.
