Jaksta Media Player

Jaksta Media Player is a feature-rich media player that comes with intuitive options and configuration parameters for all user levels.

The installer offers support for disc playback, format associations with audio, video and other types of files, and context menu integration. It may also delete preferences and cache in previous Jaksta Media Player installations.

The interface has a minimalistic layout, where media files can be loaded using the drag-and-drop method. It is possible to increase, decrease the volume or mute it, switch to full-screen mode, make the frame stay on top of other windows, as well as set the current frame as wallpaper.

You can zoom in and out, change the aspect ratio, crop the video, enable deinterlacing and select the mode, activate post processing and choose the degree level, as well as take snapshots and load subtitle tracks.

As far as audio options are concerned, you can select the track, channel mode, and device, as well as enable visualizations, a graphic equalizer, dynamic range compressor, and spatialized. Meanwhile, video effects revolve around hue, brightness, sharpening, film grain, and others. It is possible to synchronize the audio to the video and track to the video, as well as to view media and codec information.

Jaksta Media Player does not put a strain on computer performance, as it uses low CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and works fine, without causing the OS to hang, crash or pop up error messages. Hotkeys are supported. Overall, Jaksta Media Player takes its toll from VLC Media Player.
