Under Options, we could set housekeeping and behavioral features such as On Top, Prevent Screen Saver, and shut-down at specified times. Right-clicking the interface or the program's system tray icon accesses an extensive main menu.

This player has a full suite of familiar controls and counters on its interface, including full screen, repeat, shuffle, and volume, but you can also access filter and rendering settings, speaker options, and other settings from the main window. Potplayer opened with its Playlist window displayed, but we could toggle it open and closed from the interface. It supports a variety of video devices, including capture devices like cameras, DVD and digital recorders, and both analog and digital TV, including channels. It's attractive but also skinnable and customizable. It has several levels of controls and settings, making the most useful commands easily accessible. We hear you say, 'There are so many free video players what sets this one apart?' Its built-in codecs handle most video formats, and you don't have to install them yourself.

Daum Potplayer: It's probably not what you're thinking, whatever that is.
