The last version I had, put a limit on the time it would play a file, and you had to get the Pro (paying) version to play a movie all the way through. This current one has no limitation such as that. However, the Pro version does allow the full screen mode and it also will download the file from a website (and it says, plus any extras that may be needed with that file, whatever that means).

I never have been asked for an e-mail address and I've downloaded about three or four times so far. Maybe it had something to do with clicking the website address from within the program; I don't know.

I tried the Adobe Player like someone earlier said to do and it was worthless. I had a 165 MB file that Adobe wouldn't load at all, it just gave up. QuickTime would play it, after 10 seconds of loading it (have the codec for it), and this player would load it up in 1-2 seconds and start playing. When I clicked on the window, to get a full-sized window, taking up most of the screen, there was some stuttering on the sound (on my iBook 1.42 GHz, 14 inch, G4, the last model made). When the window was put back down to its original size, the stuttering stopped. The Adobe Player is absolutely worthless, so I wouldn't even bother with it. But, this free one seems to work great and I'll see, after using it for a little bit longer, if I want that Pro Version.

I put the Support/Documentation as one point down, because it did seem just a little bit sparse. But, maybe not that much is needed. The features were one point down because I think it can be beefed up with more features. Otherwise, I do think that overall it is an excellent program for what it's supposed to do and free is a good price. The pro version is not that much, either.
