Supported Formats

One of the most common issues with any free third-party multimedia player is the supported formats, or the lack thereof. PotPlayer, fortunately, does not have that problem and it has a wide list of supported formats, codecs, and subtitle file types as well.

For subtitles, you can use simple text (.txt), DVD, and Blu-Ray subtitles such as SMI, SRT, etc. Not only that but 3D videos are also supported. If you are in luck, you will be able to watch a lot of your 3D videos with the application using 3D glasses as the player is compatible.

One particularly fascinating feature of PotPlayer is that it can play incomplete files instead of constantly displaying errors.

Completely free

PotPlayer is a completely free multimedia player that supports all the popular codecs and formats when it comes to compatibility. There are no advertisements and no monetary compensation required to install and use the player.

When not in full-screen mode, you see a file browser on the right side which comes in handy because it allows you to browse through all the folders to find the required files to open.
