DV Media Player Basic

DV Media Player Basic is a software tool designed in order to help users open and watch AVI movies that have been captured with a DV camcorder.

The installation process is simple and uneventful, and completing it takes you to a plain interface. It resembles most basic media players, yet it can be used even by people with little to no experience with computers. It includes a menu bar, a panel which shows the video and a few playback controls such as play, pause, stop, fast forward and next.

Movies can be played, only by uploading them through the “Open” menu bar option. A small hindrance is that the “drag and drop” function is not supported, as it would have helped users manage their items much faster.

Alongside the movie, you can view certain metadata details, including timecode, data and time of recording, shutter speed, exposure, image stabilizer and gain in dB.

Help contents are not provided, yet seeing how simple the software program is, it becomes apparent they are not actually needed. It does not put a strain on your computer’s performance, as it uses low CPU and memory. This means you can run other apps in the same time, without encountering issues.

Taking all of this into consideration, we can safely say that DV Media Player Basic is an efficient piece of software for viewing DV AVI files, with a good response time and a user-friendly interface. There is also another version you can take advantage of, bundled with more options, called DVMP Pro.
