PC based video file player software - part 1
One of my quests is to find inexpensive software
that works well for playing playlists of video files directly from a PC or Mac.
Here's another contender: AV
Player HD from Neuromixer
In these days of fast laptops, HD resolutions and
better than XGA projector resolutions, it seems a bit 19th century to still be
plodding on with NTSC and PAL and tape decks and DVDs etc.
etc.
So...how to do reliable, cue-able, controllable video playback from a PC or mac?
Here's one option AV Player HD from Neuromixer - price is right and it claims to be able to play back HD res files and of course supports dual-monitor control - controls on one monitor and fullscreen playback on the other.
Unfortunately I can't test it on my laptop as the integrated Intel graphics aren't up to it, but worth a look if you are PC based and looking to do hi res video playback directly to a projector.

About me
My name is Dave Chalmers and I live in Edinburgh in Scotland, UK. My background is in Electronics, but for 10 years I have been helping to put on live video at events in central Scotland in my spare time. Through the course of these events, nearly all on very constrained budgets, I have learned a few things about what works and what doesn't. While I would not claim to be able to give you all the answers, I can at least help you avoid some of the mistakes.
