It's finally here. This new version of Zoom Player is mainly comprised of user requested changes and features, so you just know

there's some good stuff in there. Without further adieu...


Changes from v4.03 final:
Code:
Code:
* Zoom Player now includes an integrated key editor allowing you to
   assign Zoom Player functions to any key or compatible Multimedia
   device (such as Multimedia keyboards and 4-Button Mice).

   You can edit the keys separately for either DVD or Media modes through
   the Advanced Options Key dialog by pressing the "Edit" button next to
   the custom key file selection.

   Pressing Edit with no key file specified will allow you to select a
   new file in which to save the updated key map.

 * New Station Navigator allowing you to navigator through Radio Stations.

 * New Setting (Advanced Options / Settings / Interface) allowing you
   to have a hint box pop when the mouse cursor is over the timeline
   indicating where the seek would go when clicked (enabled by default).

 * New Setting (Advanced Options / Settings / Interface) allowing
   automatic switching to Audio Mode when a media file containing no
   video stream is loaded.

 * New Setting (Advanced Options / Settings / Interface) allowing
   automatic switching to Media Mode when a media file containing a
   video stream is loaded (and you are currently in Audio Mode).

 * New Setting (Advanced Options / Filter Control / Settings) allowing
   you to enable YUV Mixing mode on the VMR Video Renderers (VMR7/VMR9).
   This mode may reduce CPU use on some systems.

 * New Value (Advanced Options / Values / Interface) allowing you
   to specify the distance (in pixels) the mouse cursor needs to move
   to be shown once it was automatically hidden.

 * New Value (Advanced Options / Values / Interface) allowing you to
   specify a delay after closing a media file.  This can be useful with
   some filters that may not close themselves properly if not given
   such a delay.

 * New OSD Value (Options / OSD / Actions) allowing you to have a
   hint box pop when the mouse cursor is over the timeline indicating
   where the seek would go when clicked (enabled by default).

 * New "/DVDBM" Command Line Parameter allowing you to specify a DVD
   bookmark file from command line.  For example:
   "/dvdbm:c:\\zplayer\\DVD-Bookmarks\\DVDVOLUME.2E662BB6D20F0ECF\\start.chp"

 * New Customized Media Profiles for the new OpenSource DScaler decoders
   (MPEG/AC3/DTS Audio and MPEG-2 Video).

 * Radio Stations are now based on user defined names instead of just
   the URL.  You can also rename stations now.

 * New Button on the "Advanced Options / Association" page allowing you
   to set the Zoom Player icon to all associated file extensions.

 * New Button on the "Advanced Options / Association" page allowing you
   to select all Audio Extensions.

 * New Button on the "Advanced Options / Association" page allowing you
   to select all Video Extensions.

 * Zoom Player should now appear on the "Open With" windows dialog on
   all supported formats, even if they are not specifically associated
   with Zoom Player.

 * Support for the NVIDIA DVD Navigator.  Not really sure it works
   well as a DVD Navigator, but feel free to give it a shot.

 * Support for the FFDShow RAW Video Processor Sub-Filter as a DVD
   Post-Processing filter.  This filter comes with newer (as of the
   last few months) of FFDShow and doesn't require you to enable RAW
   mode in the filter dialog itself.

 * New Customized DVD Profile for the GPL DVD/MPEG decoder:
    [URL='http://sourceforge.net/projects/gplmpgdec/']http://sourceforge.net/projects/gplmpgdec/[/URL] 

 * New Customized Media Profile for DV Video.

 * New Dummy Function (doesn't do anything, can be useful for skinning).

 * New Keyboard Macro (Ctrl+"U") and Function (fnSceneCutToggle) allowing
   you to enable/disable the Scene Cut feature.

 + Enhancements to Communication interface.

 + When entering hours/minutes/seconds on the GoTo dialog, entering two
   digits will now go to the next cell automatically.

 + The Internal Format database has been updated with newly released
   decoders (such as the DScaler filters and the improved MP3 decoder).

 + Zoom Player will now automatically associate the ZPL (Zoom Player
   Play List) extension upon first run.

 - Under some conditions the File Navigator would not remember the
   last path.

 - DVD NumPad commands should now work outside of menus.

 - Could not create new Customized Media profiles.

 - Using the Mouse Wheel to move the window/video was broken.

 - When extracting Archive files, Zoom Player will now let you know
   when it's unable to extract the file.

Thanks for supporting this! Now FFDShow won't interfere with my other DirectShow apps anymore. :)


Cheers.

This is a very interesting one. Might help with the tearing issue.

Thanks for continuing the great work Blight. Not really bothered about the new features so I'll be sticking to 4.03 Pro till a non beta 4.10 arrives. Still it's nice to see that development is ongoing.

With the latest NVDVD codec stand-alone public release, are you still pursuing ZP+NV codec version for sale? If so when?
