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.
It took quite a bit of work, but I've completely rewrote the code behind the Options Dialog. Right now it looks nearly identical. But with the new code in place, Zoom Player loads slightly faster, takes A LOT less Windows 95/98/ME resources and allow me to create alternative options dialogs (such as an Advanced/Simple interfaces or possibly even an Options Navigator interface).
Now, these are the positive effects of the code rewrite. The negative is that the rewrite effected basically every single function on the options dialog, possibly introducing new bugs.
Hence the beta version. I need people to check out and tell me if something that worked in v2.90 beta 1 no longer works in beta 2. Be detailed and double check that in doesn't work in beta 1 as false reports will just drain my limited time.
Aside from this rewrite, I've also added a few more features and fixed a few unrelated bugs/issues, see below for the full list.
