MPEGPlay -- MPEGPlay is an extremely easy to use MPEG viewer. Recent versions have added support for the Microsoft WinG library in order to increase speed. Features in this client include extensive on-line help (including an MPEGPlay FAQ and an introduction to the MPEG standard), looping, stretch to window, and 10 dithering options ranging from mono (16 colors) to full color (16+ million colors). Also, MPEGPlay integrates well with Web Browsers as an external viewer for MPEG movies. There is one included MPEG file (Rocket.MPG) with MPEGPlay. The unregistered version will not play any MPEGs larger than one megabyte -- an effective impetus for buying the $25 registered version.

Pros: Supports WinG, extensive help documentation, easily configurable, nice features
Cons: Not as quick as some MPEG viewers, unregistered version has a one meg file limit
New: This is the initial review for MPEGPlay

Version Reviewed: 1.65 Date of Review: 10/13/94
