Power Video Player Plays HD Videos (1080p) Seamlessly


When it comes to media playback, many big players instantly spring to mind. VLC Media Player, KMPlayer, Media Player Classic are perhaps the top three all across the product line. With the features that these applications bring, its hard to fathom a newcomer making any place. So was the question in my mind when I came across the software Power Video Player.
I played with for a while, wondering if there was anything in this player that would qualify it for a review. As I was to give up, I noticed something, HD playback. Power Video Player had the most amazing rendering of 1080p videos.

Let me explain. I have an Intel Core i3 processor in my laptop with a 15.6”, 1366 x 768 screen.  Theoretically, with VLC or KMPlayer, 1080p videos were at best grainy, with obvious stuttering. VLC fared even worse with those on default settings. With PVP, the difference was obvious. The software claims to employs DirectShow, COM Interop and PInvoke programming, and the resulting 1080p playback was as smooth and crystal clear as any other video format. There was no stuttering element at all.
Other than this, the interface is minimalist, with not much settings to play with. Primary features include:
- Convenient UI
- Plays almost all multimedia formats (requires appropriate codecs to be present on the client system)
- Full DVD Support (MPEG-2 and AC3 decoders should be installed on the client system)
- Video control: Video size, aspect ratio
- Playback speed control
- Windowed and fullscreen playback
- Displays detailed information about each video and audio stream
- Reports the format that could not be rendered because of the missing codec(s)
- Customizable keyboard and mouse actions
- Multilingual interface: English, Russian
- Skinnable (only one default skin is shipped now)
- Supports various video renderers: Legacy Video Renderer, VMR/VMR9, EVR

The program is written in C# as a Windows Forms application and works with all versions of Windows. Our testing was done with Windows 7 32-bit OS.

Purported Samsung Galaxy S III specs revealed




Our Mr. Anonymous from the world of 4chan forums who gave us some exciting information about the Google Nexus Prime and Ice Cream Sandwich has some more to offer. This time it is about the Samsung Galaxy S III.

Although he claims not to have used the device itself as it is still under development, he did hear about the specs of the device from Samsung reps and saw photos and slides of the device.
So what are these specs? Well, prepare to get your mind blown. According to our friend, the Galaxy S III will have a
  • Quad-core 2.0GHz processor.
  • 1.5GB RAM, expandable memory with 32GB built-in.
  • 4.65-inch Super AMOLED III display developed specially for this phone with an odd 1280 x 1024 resolution, which will give it a pixel density of 352-PPI, the highest on a smartphone so far.
  • 10 megapixel camera capable of recording 1080p videos at 60fps.
  • Metal body with 9mm thickness and a 2,250mAh battery.
  • Built-in NFC.
The device will be running on Ice Cream Sandwich with a TouchWiz 5 on top. This new version of TouchWiz will be a bit different from the current versions wherein it won't be as comprehensive and will feature only minor changes to the OS. This will allow Samsung to provide quicker software updates in the future.
Samsung is planning to announce the device at MWC 2012 with a worldwide release planned sometime in mid-2012.
The specifications sound very impressive but perhaps a bit too impressive. Unlike the information regarding the Nexus Prime and ICS, we will take our anonymous friend’s information with a pinch of salt this time. We especially have doubts regarding that display. It has a 5:4 aspect ratio, which is simply odd for Android. Leaving aside the budget phones with QVGA resolution, no other Android phone has a 5:4 display. We can’t even dismiss it to a type as there are also claims of pixel density being made, which only make sense with the said resolution and size.
We will have to wait and see how this pans out. If we are lucky this may just turn out to be real. Hopefully the next time we hear about it, there will be some photographs of it as well.
