About Elmedia Player
Universal Player
Elmedia Player supports virtually all common, as well as a number of uncommon, video formats, including FLV, SWF, XAP, WMV, RM, RV (Real), AVI, MOV, MP4, DIVX. You won’t have to search for yet another plugin or codec each and every time you need to playback a video of a different format.
Online Media Download (PRO)
Elmedia Player allows saving your online favorites on a hard drive in an easy and convenient way. Its built-in web browser displays media files available for download from a current website, choose the one you need and start downloading. You can extract audio files in MP3 format, if you are only interested in a soundtrack, not the entire video. The app supports downloading from YouTube and other video hosting websites.
Convenient Playback
Elmedia Player offers a feature that will certainly be appreciated by most of us – an independent volume control. This means that you can mute system sounds while watching a movie, so no loud calls or notifications will distract you from watching experience.
Screenshots Capture (PRO)
Elmedia Player enables taking still images from a video. It is fun and requires minimal effort – grab a single image or a series of them at an interval set by you.
Playlist Support
Elmedia Player adds all downloaded media to an internal playlist. Use it to store your series, videos, favorites – accessing and managing your favorite content could not be any easier.
Conclusion
Elmedia Player has only benefited from its recent revamp, as evidenced by reviews and feedback by users. The way it looks reminds of the standard Mac player in OS X Yosemite, so you won’t have to spend time figuring out how to use it. Make sure to set Elmedia as a default player for media files playback.
You can download the app from Eltima’s official website Eltima Sofware . It has free and PRO versions, additional benefits of PRO version are available at $19.95.
