JahPlayer Review: Full-Featured Media Player

You can download JahPlayer at the this website. After the file mounts on your desktop, all you have to do is open it and use. However, JahPlayer only works with Macs running on OS 10.4 or later.

JahPlayer doesn't offer the same plethora of playable file types as the VLC player, but it does have some nice features. Users can play uncompressed video and images with high resolutions, control the frame rate and real-time aspect ratio, control the RGBA color channel views, control the playback, pan and zoom, and create thumbnails.

JahPlayer can also play a variety or formats: AVI, Mpeg, QuickTime, JPEG, TIF, TARGA, HDR, EXR and PRX. Also, you can encode movies into a variety of formats using JahPlayer as well including: DV, Mpeg and FLV.

JahPlayer looks sleek and is pretty easy to use, after a little bit of fiddling. There are no menus for it in the menu bar, as everything is available within the JahPlayer window. All the funtions are labeled clearly and it is simple to figure out how to load a video and encode it.

JahPlayer is not really a good media player for just watching videos. If that is what you need, download the VLC player and move on. However, if you need a powerful and professional grade media player that allows you to slightly edit a movie and encode it, this is the media player for you.

JahPlayer isn't for everyone. While you can watch videos with it, it is really meant for more specified use. But, if you have use for it you can't go wrong.
