Light Alloy 4.8.0 Build 1493 Final + Portable
Light Alloy is a compact media player designed to help you play most of the popular multimedia
formats. It provides you with a clear interface that displays all the basic media information
and includes the basic controls for playback. The program comes with a set of built-in codecs
that enables you to start playing media content immediately after the installation. The app
provides you with the most important ones in order to use the player right away but also
allows you to use the codecs installed on your computer during the installation. It supports
high quality video content such as DVD/Bluray discs, MKV files and MP4 movies. The subtitle
support is embedded in the initial installation and allows you to adjust the timing in order
to synchronize them with the video playback.
The layout of the main window presents you with a progress bar, volume control and playlist
editor. A nice addition is the current time indicator that also allows you to shut down the
computer at the end of the playlist. Although the general aspect is simple, Light Alloy
includes a plethora of customization options that can be adjusted to accommodate your needs.
It supports skins and allows you to change the aspect of the interface or the OSD menu. This
player is designed to improve your experience by facilitating the media playback control. It
provides you with a large list of customizable keyboard shortcuts and integrated WinLIRC
support. In our tests, the program required insignificant resources to open and play various
video files. It loads almost instantly and maintains the playlist preferences from the
previous usage. The flexible interface, fast loading time and remote controlling options
recommend Light Alloy as a reliable media player for your computer.
