Zoom Player is a robust Media and DVD Front-End Player.
Zoom Player was designed to be simple at first glance while being remarkably dynamic and flexible when used to its full potential.
Zoom Player 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.
The reason for these new alphas is due to fundamental changes in Zoom Players code and you can read more at the link below.
New :
New FillMask skinning helper function for easily filling skin areas with a mask of another bitmap (useful for backgrounds with transparent buttons).
New DVD Setting (Options -> DVD -> DVD Settings) allowing you to set the Closed Caption Background to Transparent (otherwise Opaque).
New Audio Balance (stereo) interface. Using the Alt+Shift+"," and Alt+Shift+"." keys you can move the Audio Balance Left to Right.
New Skinning interface (not implemented on default skin) allowing you to create an Audio Balance Control on the user interface. It works similar to the Play Rate Control and implemented through the BlanaceExData skinning function.
New "TimelineCursor" Skinning Variable allowing you to set the cursor used for timeline seeking.
Changes:
The Association dialog now shows you which extensions are associated and allows you to remove association.
Separated the Custom Audio Device to Media and DVD so you can decide if it affects one or the other (or neither).
The Next/Previous Chapter buttons now act as Next/Previous Tracks when no chapters are defined. When Chapters are defined they will only change tracks if you are on the last/first chapters. This allows you to cross-chapter media files.
New Overlay Color automated verification system that double checks if DirectShow is returning the correct overlay color used in OSD transparency. This is required due to bugs in such filters as the WinDVD v4 Video Decoder which modifies the overlay color code for some unknown reason.
The vlLeft and vlTop skin parameters have been moved into the VolumeExData function and should no longer be used in future skins.
The rtLeft, rtTop parameters and RateData function has been integrated into a new "RateExData" function for further skinning simplification.
The skinning documentation has moved from the plasticblue to the brownish skin as it is updated to much all the new function.
Fixes:
Fixed a problem when the Override VMR setting was enabled and you simply wouldn't see any video.
The TransBitmapCopy function was not working properly.
Fixed a bug that could cause crashes on non-english versions of windows.
Fixed a problem that would alter the DVD Background Image aspect ratio.
Using the new DrawExText would cause position covered by the text not to react to mouse clicks.
Open Filter Property Pages should no longer mess up buttons with Hover Graphics.
Fixed possible crashes (multiple divide by zero) with Scene Cut files.
