Free Xvid Player

There's an abundance of media players for Windows computers and many of them have a wide range of options and configuration settings that a lot of users never explore.

If you're looking for a simple, free and straightforward video player that has support only for Xvid movies, you can turn to Free Xvid Player. It features the necessary and suffice features for helping you watch videos in the Xvid file format.

During installation, the Xvid player offers to download and install some audio and video codecs. This is probably why some anti-malware applications think the setup file is infected. Make sure to allow this to happen or the app won't work properly. Furthermore, .NET Framework must be set up on your PC.

As far as the interface is concerned, Free Xvid Player adopts a familiar-looking window with basic media player controls on the bottom side.

Once you open a video file, you can pause and resume playback, create and manage a playlist with multiple clips, arrange items up and down in the list, as well as save the playlist to file to be able to open it later and continue enjoying your favorite clips.

It's also possible to randomize the playlist and adjust the volume level from the player instead of turning to the system volume controls.

If you right-click the video, the tool opens the context menu where you can increase or decrease playback speed, as well as perform other actions.

Although they aren't visible anywhere, shortcuts are supported, such as Space for pausing or double-clicking to enter fullscreen mode.

To sum it up, Free Xvid Player offers a quick solution for enjoying movies in the Xvid format. It supports standard media player controls, playlists, shuffle mode, and keyboard shortcuts. The utility doesn't have features for more experienced users interested in additional control.
