I became a fan of KM Player

From somedays, i am using KM Player also known as ‘The KM Plyer’. I used Power DVD for playing DVD files. But it can’t play all the movie formats and it is getting resource hungry and more size day by day. At this meantime, i got the ‘KM Plyer’ and i became a fan of it for its wide support of video formats and it is also a free software. Controlling KM Plyer is very strong. You can control playing options of it by any means. I am placing the features of KM player below as it was given in their website. I think you will love it.
