PotPlayer
About PotPlayer
PotPlayer is a multimedia player for Microsoft Windows developed by the South Korean company Kakao, formerly Daum Communications, and originally released as Daum Live. It is known for its wide range of settings and customisation, light resource use and support for a large variety of media formats.
Built-in codecs mean most files play without installing codec packs, and OpenCodec lets advanced users add their own. DXVA, CUDA and QuickSync acceleration keep playback smooth even on modest hardware. It handles SMI, SRT, VobSub, Blu-ray and ASS/SSA subtitles, supports several 3D output formats, bookmarks, snapshot previews and output device selection, and is available for 32-bit, 64-bit and ARM64 Windows.
