ALShow 1.7

ALShow 1.7 is a free media player on the Internet designed to be the last movie player that you ever download, because it does everything you need, and bit more on top of that. 

Do you have users that need to watch videos? Perhaps you've got corporate training videos. Do you deliver part of your product in video? Maybe the faculty at your school deliver some video lectures. Is everyone using a different video encoding? No matter what your situation is, ALShow can make life easier for your users, and ultimately, that means less time spent on support and more time for you to do what's really important.

Major Benifits:

1. For Home Users
   • If you've ever searched for some obscure video codec before, you'll appreciate ALShow. With everything already included, it's the last download you'll need to watch your movies and videos.
   • • Codecs Included & Online Codec Center
     • No Learning Curve
     • Comprehensive Functionality
   • Codecs Included & Online Codec Center. Virtually every codec you'll ever need is already in ALShow, and for those few remaining codecs, ALShow can automatically recognize them and help you download and install them - in seconds - not hours.
   • No Learning Curve. ALShow is simple to use, so if you know how to play a cassette tape, VHS tape, or DVD, you already know everything you need to know.
   • Comprehensive Functionality. There are lots of extras in ALShow that you won't find in many expensive players. So if you're looking for power - You're looking for ALShow.
2. For Professionals and Adminstrators
   • Eliminate Support Requests: Stronger format support than any other player in a package that even small children can use spells fewer user support requests for you, and that means more time to do what's really important.
   • Maximize IT Skills : Since ALShow is free for everyone, your users can use it for free at home and bring those computer skills to the office. Why should you train everyone?
   • Help Customers: If you're a video professional and you've got customers that aren't quite as computer savvy as you are, why not make their lives easier when you deliver rough cuts for approval or even with your final product? You're free to burn ALShow onto your data CDs or DVDs for your clients as long as you don't charge them for ALShow.
   • The Right Tools : With so many ALTools that all have a consistent, user-friendly interface, your users can skip the learning curve by using ALTools in their daily tasks. Easier tools are less frustrating for users and are also more productive.
3. For Your Computer
   • ALShow is faster and smoother than other video players. And with no ads, no spyware, and no nasty suprises, that means your computer stays happy :-)
   • Application Speed: While some video players can drag, ALShow is fast to load. Efficient programming keeps your computer running fast.
   • Playback Smoothness: If you're tired of jerky video, you'll appreciate the smooth playback in ALShow. The same efficiency that keeps it running fast keeps the video running smooth on your screen. And that means a more responsive computer that doesn't hang on you.
   • No Spyware, No Adware, No Junkware: ALShow is FREE for everyone. When we say "free", in addition to free as in price, we also mean that there is no spyware, adware, or junkware that sneak by, or are buried in legal mumbo-jumbo. That keeps your computer healthy and clean.
