AVS Media Player for Windows

User Reviews

• No JPEG feature?

  Fightinfueler24November 27, 2015

  Pros

  Not a bad software program for older folks like me, plain and simple to use.

  Cons

  Does not open JPEG files which (for me) is the most common, only opens BMP, WMF, EMF, and PNG files that I don't use.

  Summary

  Other than the missing JPEG feature it's a good software program.

• Nothing special

  Pros

  It works. Plays video nicely and... that's all

  Cons

  A typical video player. I had some minor issues with interlacing.

• Stay away at all cost

  dshchrniDecember 25, 2014

  Pros

  The products are OK, and the paid bundle (yes, I've purchased a full license) looks attractive in terms of bang for the buck, HOWEVER...

  Cons

  Licensing policy and support are terrible!! Once installed on a computer - that's it! no way you can remove/de-activate if you need to port to a new computer. All attempts to get the support for that failed, with the feeling you're contacting a robot rather than a thinking person. Was offered a 50% discount to purchase again a license for the new computer. Wouldn't buy for a penny.STAY AWAY. This is not how software companies should do business in the 21st century.... :-(

• I Totally Agree. Stay completely away from it.

  Sweethunnie30May 20, 2014

  Pros

  I didn't see any at all. Saw all the stuff that I didn't want going on to my computer and got rid of most of it.

  Cons

  It was loading all types of stuff onto my computer. I had to add a review here. People should know about this. It changed my homepage also. I had to redo my fire fox. I had to go into my control panel to uninstall as much as I could. It is hard to uninstall. Lots of little pieces placed all over your computer. Fortunately I have most of the programs to help me get rid of most of it. I hope I got it all.

  Summary

  BAD NEWS. Stay TOTALLY away from it. I WOULD GIVE THIS PRODUCT (OR INVASION) NO STARS IF I COULD .

• STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT

  DavidMcCrMarch 27, 2014

  Pros

  Free (but nothing else)

  Cons

  AVS (or one of the 3 or 4 programs that are attached) took over all of my web browsers and deleted the pages I had saved. Also, I had to remove a ton of malware after I removed the programs (at least I hope they are removed).

  Summary

  Stay away. Free is a great price, but this company can't be trusted. This isn't the first time that this has happened with a CNET recommendation.

• Difficult to remove

  MacHesneyJune 1, 2013

  Pros

  A very large number of audio/video codecs that is for certain. QT for Windows is very limited in comparison.

  Cons

  It truly needs a standalone uninstaller. Even AVS Media provides extensive manual uninstalling information even if the Windows program removal is successful. In my case I, after the Add/Remove uninstall, and had to manually delete the program folder, check for hidden user folders, and clean out the registry. In my case - deleted an AVS Media folder in registry, and then a registry search revealed over 600 AVS entries to delete that were not in the two locations they specify to check.

  Summary

  Free trial could lead to much unpaid time spent as removal is done thoroughly, or instead just leaving an unfinished uninstall.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jun 1, 2013<p/>Version is unknown because like I said I deleted all traces of it. Sorry. I visited the website today for the uninstall info.

• did not play

  MeanGeniusAugust 2, 2012

  Pros

  free ,,,,,,,

  Cons

  1 - it did not play the one file I tried to play in it, which was an Mpeg 4 movie, closed it and deleted it (all my other tested media players played the same file with NO problems) 2 - AVS also downloads other software even if you opt out during install, and that software constantly nags you to use other AVS software, obviously the AVS people sre not trying to win customers over with good marketing policies

  Summary

  dont bother even downloading

• Don't waste your money

  FARFLMay 8, 2012

  Pros

  Absolutely NONE!

  Cons

  Launching AVS Media Player brings my 3.4 Ghz Dual Core to 99% usage. Memory usage slowly climbs past 1 Gb.

  Summary

  Very Bad product with no support. Surprising since their Video Editor runs very well on my system. I suspect it doesn't like my nvidia GPU. I've tried their support forum but they never respond.

• This media player is reliable and easy to use.

  pmuthersbaughSeptember 22, 2011

  Pros

  I like the simplicity of the program and the range of media it will play.

  Cons

  There are some media versions it won't play.

  Summary

  Overall, it's an excellent program recommended to me by a geek friend who has rarely missed on his suggested software. Get it and use it!
