Title: Clarification on Video Player
Post by: Tiger100 on February 12, 2009, 07:14:19 pm

In the features section of MC13, it talks about the ability to use another player for video playback:

VIDEO FEATURES
1.  Support for High Quality YouTube videos
2.  Ability to use another player for playback

Does this mean that I could use the theater view capabilities of MC13 to scan my movie covers and have the movie playback using Zoomplayer?

Regards,

David Setton

ZoomPlayer uses DirectShow filters, just like MC does.  I do not see the advantage of using ZoomPlayer, but you can select any external player in Tools -> Options -> File Types.

Yes.  It does.
