Watching videos on our favorite video player is the favorite past time for almost all of us. It is the most common thing which we do regularly to freshen up our mind. All the systems come with a built-in video player but sometimes, that’s not enough software for playing all our videos. Our beautiful experience takes a hit when our video player finds some of our video files incompatible or is unable to enhance the quality of videos. Can we find a video player that can play videos and audios in any format? In the world, we are always online, can a video player be able to stream the online videos too? And above all, can one video player fulfill all our video and audio requirements?
Fortunately, Yes. There is a software that is more than able to replace your current video player and you would actually start loving it. This tool goes by the name 5KPlayer which is available for free but provides high end features
Well, I’m glad to say that 5KPlayer has successfully replaced my previous video players and the software is just amazing. It is rich in amazing helpful features which helps you to play your videos of any format. Not only to play the HD videos but it also offers several other efficient features.
5KPlayer – Noteworthy Features
let’s have a look at the features of this UHD player for Window/Mac.
Wider hardware acceleration.
Let’s start with the most important feature of 5KPlayer i.e. wider hardware acceleration. This feature of 5KPlayer boosts the GPU video-decoding efficiency and adds up 2 more H/W acceleration modes from its original DXVA2 mode and QSV and NVIDIA H/W decoding.
This hardware acceleration mode is utilized to accelerate the conversion, high-res video decoding, and AirPlay process. The performance of 5KPlayer has been dramatically enhanced in the h264 8K video playback tasks along with the Airplay mirroring and the MP3/AAC conversion process.
The hardware decoding helps to transfer the burden from CPU to GPU for a high-resolution video playback and Airplay mirroring. For decoding the video files, it activates the Graphics processing unit instead of CPU.
Download Videos
Another attractive feature of 5KPlayer is that it lets you download videos from YoutTube, DailyMotion, Facebook and other popular video streaming websites. YouTube lets you watch all the videos and movies it contains and you can even save them for the offline watch but that is only limited to watch on the YouTube itself. Earlier we needed a seperate software for downloading online videos but the all-in-one 5KPlayer takes care of this requirement too.
