NovoSun Player

NovoSun Player is a portable piece of kit which enables you to play ASF videos. It does not include complex options or configuration settings, making it suitable for all types of users looking to quickly view ASF clips without worrying about complicated settings.

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can extract the program files to any part of the hard disk and just click the executable to launch the app. Another possibility is to save NovoSun Player to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any PC with minimum effort and no other installers.

An important aspect worth keeping in mind is that the Windows registry and Start menu do not get updated with new entries, and no extra files are created on the disk, thus leaving no traces behind after its removal.

The GUI is represented by a regular window with a plain and simple structure, where you can open an ASF file using either the file browser or drag-and-drop method.

Standard video player controls include pause and stop. It is also possible to increase or decrease playback speed, take a snapshot and save it to JPG format, as well as to step forward or backward by keyframe.

There were no issues throughout our evaluation since Player did not hang, crash or pop up error messages. It has a good response time to commands and runs on low CPU and low-to-moderate RAM, so it shouldn't put a strain on computer performance.

Although it does not come packed with complex features or configuration settings, the app can be handled by all types of users looking for a straightforward ASF player.
