    Softpedia Editor's Review for Kantaris

    EDITOR'S RATING:

    Can play almost anything you can throw at it without the need for codecs.

    Written by Elena Opris on November 25th, 2011

    Kantaris is a multimedia player that supports most commonly used audio and video file formats.

    During installation, you have to set file associations. These include 3GP, AVI, DIVX, FLV, MKV, MOV, MPEG, XVID, FLAC, MP3, WAV, WMA, RAR (plays RAR archives without having to extract media), and DVD files.

    We advise you to pay special attention to the following steps, as Kantaris is ad-supported and offers to install SpeechGrid.

    The interface of the software is quite simple, so you should not have any trouble finding its features. Kantaris is both designed for novice and experienced users.

    You can load a file, folder, DVD or audio CD, but you can also insert a URL address with a file or stream you want to play. Unfortunately, the last feature did not work in our case.

    We loaded a bunch of video files of different formats. Kantaris works perfectly in most cases, but it is sometimes difficult to move back and forth in the video, because the application takes a few seconds to load the new position. Plus, when we put a MPG and ASF file to the test, navigating in the clips was not possible. Every time we tried to navigate in the clip, the video reseted itself.

    Additionally, you can change the video's size, aspect ratio, crop mode, and you can also make image adjustments. Audio language can be selected or disabled, while audio can be synchronized with the image.

    A plugin manager allows you to install various useful plugins for Kantaris. Subtitles can be either loaded from file, automatically browsed in an online database (which is not very extensive), as well as synced.

    The program uses a high amount of system memory, and sometimes we couldn't access general settings because the app seems to freeze every once in a while. We suggest you test it for yourself. It may need a little touchup but, overall, Kantaris is a decent multimedia player.
