MEDIA Revolution

MEDIA Revolution is an audio and video player that aims to enhance the user's experience through a modern interface and powerful features.

The interface of the tool is based on multiple panels, for displaying video and DVD movies, and controlling media, along with a navigation panel that appears from the left side of the screen when you touch it with the mouse cursor.

Standard media player controls include pause and stop, position seeking, full-screen mode, an equalizer. The tool also supports a digital video recorder, and it allows you to create playlists and favorite lists. You can change the resolution and aspect ratio, as well as disable the rain effect, or make the mainframe click-through.

You can listen to online radio, apply audio effects (e.g. amplify, echo, notch, phaser, pitch scale), as well as schedule the computer to power off or hibernate.

Unfortunately, we have come across numerous issues in our tests. MEDIA Revolution had trouble playing audio and video files, whether it did not recognize the format, displayed the video improperly, or played audio at an increased speed (e.g. M4V, FLV, MP4, WAV, WMA, AAC).

On top of that, it hangs on several occasions when we attempted to play files, forcing us to restart the application. The side-screen panel takes a long time to make its appearance after the command is triggered. Overall, the application has critical stability issues, although we tested it on multiple platforms. MEDIA Revolution must come a long way until it can be considered a serious media player.
