Even though it is under constant development for more than 25 years, Windows Media Player is still not capable of handling all video and audio needs. In fact, some critics would even go so far as to state that it is a rather limited application.

bomi is a lightweight piece of software designed to cater for all multimedia playback needs and that enables you to play a wide variety of files from multiple sources, including streams and Blu-ray.

Following a quick and uneventful setup, you are welcomed by a stylish and eye-catching interface, but that is also streamlined and minimalistic as to avoid distracting you during playback. In case you want to enhance the appearance even further, then you can also enable the internal title bar in frameless mode or change the font and skin from the Options window.

Not only can you view movies with subtitles, but you can also customize them accordingly by selecting the appropriate text, style, position, scale, alignment and even sync them so that they are simultaneous with the video. While you can also increase or decrease the speed of the playback, you should bear in mind that you can solely do it with plus or minus 10%.

As far as the functionality goes, you will be happy to learn that the tool enables you to add files with drag and drop and afterwards enhance its audio and video capabilities. If they are available, the tool allows you to view titles, editions or change the streaming format whenever necessary.

The video and audio features that can help you make the most of the videos, you can count aspect ratio, crop, zoom, rotate, change the screen position and alignment, color space and range, quality preset, texture format or high quality scaling. Other noteworthy options are deinterlacing, dithering, motion smoothing, sync, volume adjustment, tempo scale, channel layout, normalizer or amplification.

All things considered, bomi is a sleek and stylish video player that comes with several advanced features and tools that allow you to fully enjoy a wide variety of media files.
