A multifunctional free media player for Mac, Elmedia Player supports a wide range of common and not so common audio & video formats, including FLV, SWF, WMV, AVI, MOV, MP4, MP3, DAT, FLAC, M4V, MPG, MKV and more. It can play virtually all media files on your Mac. This player also boasts a number of handy features such as built-in web-browser and Open URL option that allow you to watch online videos from the app window.

HD content playback is a resource-intensive task, and if a media player is not capable of coping with it well, expect choppy, jittery or slow playback. However with Elmedia Player a perfectly smooth HD experience is guaranteed thanks to hardware accelerated decoding, which significantly unloads the processor and helps avoiding video slowdown or troubles with sound sync, etc.

Open Online Video option lets you access YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion videos directly from the app - no need to bring up a browser, no noisy ads to distract you. You don’t even need to purchase YouTube Red subscription. If you open YouTube video via Open Online Video option of Elmedia Player you'll see subtitles right where they belong. On a right-click you can choose whether to open a video in browser or to download a file. Note, the latter is available in Elmedia PRO.

Elmedia can download various videos including RTMP streams or HTML5 videos. That is pretty much always some news channels where regular downloaders just fail, but if you use Elmedia you'll have a much needed video on your hard disk available to watch even when offline.

Also Elmedia downloads brilliantly from popular video hosting services such as Metacafe, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Facebook, Yahoo, etc. It works pretty much the same as with YouTube – switch to browser mode, go to the web site, select a video and click Download.

Saving videos from YouTube with Elmedia is easy: switch to the browser mode, find the YouTube video you’d like to save and click Download – make sure to choose the right download format. If a YouTube video is embedded in other website you'll see the download link even without playing the video. Subtitles, if any, will be downloaded together with the video. You can actually download the whole YouTube playlist in a desired format!
