It also includes numerous sound effects . The commercial “Plus VX” version of the application includes unlocked sound enhancement algorithms and a wide range of file format support, as well as the ability to transcode more than 30 seconds of video files. JetAudio’s user interface
50-479: A "flat" picture can be transformed so as to give an illusion of depth when viewed through anaglyph glasses (usually red-cyan). An image viewed through anaglyph glasses appears to have both protruding and deeply embedded objects in it, at the expense of somewhat distorted colors. The method itself is old enough , dating back to the mid-19th century, but it is only with recent advances in computer technology that it has become possible to apply this kind of transformation to
75-426: A collection of objects composed of 3D vertices and textures, much like in any modern video game, to achieve special effects. Tedious and costly, this method is only used in a small fraction of movies produced worldwide, while most movies remain in the form of traditional 2D images. It is, however, possible to give an otherwise two-dimensional picture the appearance of depth. Using a technique known as anaglyph processing
100-717: A human listener. The following is a list of tag editors. Media players generally have tag editing capabilities and are not included. Media player (application software) Media player software is a type of application software for playing multimedia computer files like audio and video files. Media players commonly display standard media control icons known from physical devices such as tape recorders and CD players , such as play ( [REDACTED] ), pause ( [REDACTED] ), fastforward (⏩️), rewind (⏪), and stop ( [REDACTED] ) buttons. In addition, they generally have progress bars (or "playback bars"), which are sliders to locate
125-466: A list of known items, one could use a conventional hash function such as MD5 , but this would be very sensitive to highly likely perturbations such as time-shifting, CD read errors, different compression algorithms or implementations or changes in volume. Using something like MD5 is useful as a first pass to find exactly-identical files, but another, more advanced algorithm is required to find all items that would nonetheless be interpreted as identical by
150-431: A number of built-in sound effects , including: Like many other media player applications , JetAudio offers the option of displaying an animated visualization synchronized with music: MilkDrop , PixelTrip, Space and Synesthesia. Additional visualization plugins can be downloaded from external providers. JetAudio has the ability to display both synchronized and unsynchronized lyrics to the music. Lyrics are displayed in
175-797: A seek bar, a timer with the current and total playback time, playback controls (play, pause, previous, next, stop), playlists, a "repeat" mode, and a "shuffle" (or "random") mode for curiosity and to facilitate searching long timelines of files. Different media players have different goals and feature sets. Video players are a group of media players that have their features geared more towards playing digital video . For example, Windows DVD Player exclusively plays DVD-Video discs and nothing else. Media Player Classic can play individual audio and video files but many of its features such as color correction, picture sharpening, zooming, set of hotkeys , DVB support and subtitle support are only useful for video material such as films and cartoons. Audio players , on
200-754: A series of frames in a motion picture reasonably fast or even in real-time, i.e. as the video is being played back. Several implementations exist in the form of 3D video players that render conventional 2D video in anaglyph 3D, as well as in the form of 3D video converters that transform video into stereoscopic anaglyph and transcode it for playback with regular software or hardware video players. Well known examples of media player software include Windows Media Player , VLC media player , iTunes , Winamp , Media Player Classic , MediaMonkey , foobar2000 , AIMP , MusicBee and JRiver Media Center . Most of these also include music library managers. Although media players are often multi-media, they can be primarily designed for
225-512: A specific media. For example, Media Player Classic and VLC media player are video-focused while Winamp and iTunes are music-focused, despite all of them supporting both types of media. A home theater PC or media center computer is a convergence device that combines some or all the capabilities of a personal computer with a software application that supports video, photo, audio playback, and sometimes video recording functionality. Although computers with some of these capabilities were available from
250-486: A tooltip bubble previewing footage at the position hovered over with the mouse cursor. A preview tooltip for the seek bar has been implemented on few smartphones through a stylus or a self-capacitive touch screen able to detect a floating finger. Such include the Samsung Galaxy S4, S5 (finger), Note 2, Note 4 (stylus), and Note 3 (both). Streaming media players may indicate buffered segments of
275-950: Is an app that can add, edit, or remove embedded metadata on multimedia file formats. Content creators, such as musicians, photographers, podcasters, and video producers, may need to properly label and manage their creations, adding such details as title, creator, date of creation, and copyright notice. Content creation apps can add metadata to the files they create. Tag editors, however, are apps dedicated to processing metadata, such as DigiKam and MusicBrainz Picard . Their features go beyond manual editing of individual files, offering batch processing and semi-automatic content identification. Media players such as iTunes , Foobar2000 or Winamp , as well as dedicated tag editing programs allow users to manually edit tag and song file information, including composer and release year. Dedicated tag editors may feature batch processing and creating tags from file names and vice versa. One type of tag editor compares

On 2 May 2011 ( 2011-05-02 ) , Cowon announced the release of JetVideo, a media player program with features which partially overlap with those of JetAudio. Like JetAudio, it relies on external codecs (such as those included in the K-Lite Codec Pack ) for some of its data decoding. Tag editor A tag editor
400-499: The ability to adjust appearance and acoustics during playback using effects such as mirroring, rotating, cropping, cloning, adjusting colours, deinterlacing , and equalizing and visualizing audio . Easter eggs may be featured, such as a puzzle game on VLC Media Player . Still snapshots may be extracted directly from a video frame or captured through a screenshot, the former of which is preferred since it preserves videos' original dimensions (height and width). Video players may show
425-664: The current position in the duration of the media file. Mainstream operating systems have at least one default media player. For example, Windows comes with Windows Media Player , Microsoft Movies & TV and Groove Music , while macOS comes with QuickTime Player and Music . Linux distributions come with different media players, such as SMPlayer , Amarok , Audacious , Banshee , MPlayer , mpv , Rhythmbox , Totem , VLC media player , and xine . Android comes with YouTube Music for audio and Google Photos for video, and smartphone vendors such as Samsung may bundle custom software. The basic feature set of media players are

Once a match is found, complementary metadata information may be downloaded. This process is semi-automatic because more than one match may be found. An acoustic fingerprint is a unique code generated from an audio waveform . Depending upon
500-426: The feature set of Media Player Classic and MediaMonkey combined. By default, videos are played with fully visible field of view while filling at least either width or height of the viewport to appear as large as possible. Options to change the video's scaling and aspect ratio may include filling the viewport through either stretching or cropping, and "100% view" where each pixel of the video covers exactly one pixel on
525-399: The media in the seek bar. 3D video players are used to play 2D video in 3D format. A high-quality three-dimensional video presentation requires that each frame of a motion picture be embedded with information on the depth of objects present in the scene. This process involves shooting the video with special equipment from two distinct perspectives or modeling and rendering each frame as
