BS.Player is a video player app that makes it easy to take advantage of your computer as a source of entertainment. It can play all your favorite TV shows, movies, and other content on your PC.

If you're trying to watch video content on your PC, BS.Player is an ideal option for playback. It has a ton of features to help make the experience as pleasant as possible, and it supports just about all the most notable formats of audio and video.

The user interface for BS.Player is fairly basic, and it's not particularly nice to look at either. Fortunately, the skin of the player can be changed for another of your choosing. When you install BS.Player, it will automatically search your system for audio or video codecs that you don't have, and it will download them immediately.

One unusual feature of BS.Player that most similar video player apps lack is the ability to produce subtitles. The software can also take stills of the movie being played so you can use them in other projects. If you want to create a system of organizing the video content, you can use the software to insert chapters and bookmarks. Since the app supports plug-ins, its functionality can be expanded even further. This puts it on par with other apps in the same family, like UMPlayer.

One of the most intuitive features of the software is the way you control playback. You can use either the mouse or your keyboard and the associated shortcuts. If you prefer to use the mouse, you can double-click to enter fullscreen mode, click once to stop or play the video, and spin the mouse wheel to change the sound level. It takes no time to get used to these controls since they feel so second-nature anyway.

You'd be astounded at the complete list of features and functions available in BS.Player. The software is incredibly stable and reliable, and the functionality is relatively intuitive, at least for the basic functions. The software lacks any help documents or instructions of any sort beyond an insufficient FAQ page on the website for the software. Of course, the player is essentially fully operational without any advanced knowledge, so documentation might not be necessary. Then again, having something to help get you past an unusual issue probably isn't a bad idea.

Even if you already have another media player app on your PC, it couldn't hurt to try BS.Player. The app is small, yet it offers the ability to play back a number of file types that other mainstream players can't play. Even if you don't make BS.Player your default option, which you probably should, it's a good idea to keep around in case you come across the occasional unplayable video or audio file.
