Great media player for a wide range of formats
BS.Player is a great free video player for those moments when you prefer watching movies and TV series on the computer rather than doing it on the couch. Developed for streaming videos on PC, this powerful multimedia player supports all popular video and audio formats like WebM, HD, and AVC video, movie, audio, DVD, YouTube, and more. It is free to download but a PRO version that provides more extensive features is also available.
Introducing BS.Player PRO
The free version of BS.Player is a great media player already. The features are limited but can still be of good use for your streaming marathon as it offers impressive key functions. For instance, it is capable of displaying videos directly on your computer and can do playbacks of AVCHD videos. You can also customize its playback modes, as well as its speed, as much as you want. It provides video subtitles, allows you to take screenshots of a movie you're currently playing, and lets you create bookmarks and chapters that mark your videos more easily. Moreover, it supports plugins as UMPlayer does.
If you think those features are exceptional already, BS.Player PRO can give more of that. With this paid version, you'll have a resolution option for your YouTube streaming video playback—HD, high-quality or normal resolution. Additionally, you will be able to save your YouTube streaming video into your local disk. Furthermore, DVD and Teletext support are also included.
BS.Player vs. VLC
Considerably, BS.Player is a decent multimedia player. However, it can't be compared to VLC Media Player—one of the leading programs on the market. From features to performance, VLC just washes away the other program's ratings. In contrast with this software, VLC Media Player is a completely free and open-source program thus, you can experience all of its features fully without paying anything.
VLC also serves tons of highly customizable advanced settings besides its basic configurations—unlike this program, which only offers it on its paid license. Not only that but, VLC doesn't demand additional codecs as compared to the latter that requires mpeg2 codecs to enable its DVD support.
Decent but not better than VLC
BS.Player's function, features, and performance are fair enough for a person who finds streaming videos normally on a standard rate satisfying enough. However, for a user who aims to have high-definition or high-quality displays of their favorite TV series and movies for free, this program will not suffice. VLC is a much better player for them instead.
User reviews about BS.Player

Most annoying interface ever.
Its horrible. Who designed this turd? Its impossible to skim back or forth a movie with the tiny progress bar. The blue/white has waaaaay to little contrast. Have to walk upto my TV to see the time elapsed. Also WHY ON EARTH does it not show the time remaining?
Who the F thought it was a good idea to split the interface into two parts? Seriously? Have to go search for the buttons.. Look at VLC or any other player they do it a hundered times better. Every interface decision they took is just wrong.There is just one reason to use it, the subtitles, but they are often crappy also..
Pros:
Subtitles
Cons:
Doesnt snap to screen
Doesnt react to snap shortcuts
Cant read the time elapsed because of horrible interface
Doesnt show time remaining
Hover over menu's etc Interface is there to to annoy you
Horrible accuracity on searching in movie progress
Progress bar doesnt take up the entire screen width, because nobody thought this interface through
It unstable, The turd crashes a lot More

Was great.
For many years I have used BS.Player and been very happy with it, it's lite and easy to use, but just recently it has stopped playing most of the file extensions I use. Can't seem to fix it so I have been forced to find something else.
Pros:
lite on resources
easy to use
Cons:
not playing lots of file extensions More

Best on the market.
Haven't seen anything better.
Excelent customisability, no borders around video. It could just use some more sources for subtitle search. More
