From there, select the Video tab from the options and find the correct media file in the list (Hint: YouTube videos are usually FLV). Rather than having two windows open at once, Elmedia Player PRO uses that built-in mini web browser to help you locate the online videos of your choice. That last point was my favorite feature offered by Elmedia and the function was handled beautifully.

In the PRO version there is a whole bunch of options that became available to you like converting any movie file into a series of still images or take screenshots of individual moments or download streaming/online videos directly to your hard drive. And in a nice twist, Elmedia has decided to include built-in playback of online video with their mini-broswer, which you can see in the screenshot labelled “Browse Now”. Both allow for the creation of playlists as well. Both versions of Elmedia Player will play the following formats: FLV, SWF, XAP, RM and RV, AVI, MOV, MP4, WMV, DIVX, DAT, and more. As far as the free version goes, it is a fine alternative to VLC Player, but offers no real reason to switch if you are already a VLC user. I was lucky enough to obtain a copy of the PRO version for testing purposes and will share my thoughts on that version later.

But where’s the fun in that? Where are all the choices? What about democracy? That’s where Elmedia Player comes in.Įlmedia Player comes in a free version as well as a PRO version ($20). That’s part of the reason why players like VLC have become so popular (it’s the only player I will use). Some media files are simply unplayable without third party software. It’s no secret that Macs have a problem with media playback, shipping with extremely limited options available.
