VideoPhill: Finally found an Alternative to the Good Old Media Player Classic

The video formats I have in my local hard drive come from various sources. The most numerous format so far is AVI, which is ideally the file extension for movies and other 700MB video files that can be burnt on CD. Next to AVI, there are other formats such as MOV, WMV, MKV, and FLV. Most of the MOV files I have were recorded from my Apple device. Some MOV files are videos directly downloaded from the Apple website such as high-definition trailers and video tutorials. I used to have a separate player for MOV files, the Apple Quicktime, but then realized that I can just download the minimalistic codec to play the file on the Media Player classic. For more than a decade already, I have been a fan of the MPC, but not until I discovered VideoPhill. Just like the MPC, VideoPhill takes advantage of advanced video compression technology to deliver high-quality videos with the minimal use of resources. In addition, the player provides a very user-friendly interface for me to organize my own video archive.

The capabilities of VideoPhill are beyond that of a regular video player. The software application hosts a number of functionalities that truly redefined how I categorize and view my videos. A very convenient feature of VideoPhill is the thumbnail generation for virtually every file format, which is unlike the MPC that had certain issues with generating thumbnails especially for uncommon file formats.

VideoPhill may be downloaded by following this link. It's free to try and the developer has been very generous with the trial features.
