Using MPDN - Media Player .NET

The number and types of configurations the program requires to function properly mean it is not designed for newbies. Your system must also meet a number of prerequisites before you can install the media player, including Windows XP or higher operating system, .NET Framework 4.0, CPU with SSE2 instruction set, sound card, auto-loading DirectVobSub and LAV Filters among others.

The media player supports different DirectX rendering engines, which you can switch seamlessly so long as you have appropriate GPU hardware configuration.

We could control different aspects of the media rendering process. Some of the things we could configure included extensions, subtitles and other video rendering features. For example, we could change the Direct3D back buffer size and Presentation API. We applied different scaling algorithms, thanks to the Pixel Shader technology.

The media player is compatible with several extensions, which include player extensions and render scripts. The render scripts fully run on the GPU, and the new PlayerExtension feature allows you to extend the player via the C# script.

We could view the media player in full UI or compact mode. Apart from displaying such common features as play control buttons, the full UI mode displayed details like video frame rate. On the other hand, the minimal mode hid all other buttons and features except the minimize, maximize and stop buttons.

Conclusion

MPDN - Media Player .NET is a sophisticated media player that accepts many customization options and renders high quality videos and audio. You must know how to make technical configurations to take full advantage of the player. However, the installer version will significantly reduce the number of necessary configurations and extensions.

Requires: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.
