Windows播放器格式不全?Zoom Player MAX能補什麼

Zoom Player MAX 軟體圖示 Zoom Player MAX 17.0 資料更新 2022-06-25 閱讀約 6 分鐘

你從網路上下載了一部影片,興沖沖地雙擊檔案,播放器卻跳出「無法播放」的訊息。換了另一個播放器,畫面是出來了,但字幕跟不上、聲音斷斷續續,想調整色彩或播放速度,卻找不到對應的設定。你只是想好好看個影片,卻得在好幾個播放器之間來回切換,每個都有各自的毛病。

一般人遇到這種狀況,直覺是再裝一套免費播放器試試。但免費播放器往往為了追求簡單,把進階設定藏得很深,甚至直接拿掉;遇到冷門格式或特殊編碼,還是得自己上網找解碼包,裝完也不見得有用。這類專業播放器的切入點,是從「播放」這件事本身出發:先想辦法讓所有格式都能播,再把調整的權限完整交給使用者,讓你可以針對每一部影片、每一種使用情境,自己決定要怎麼播。

01Zoom Player MAX到底能播什麼格式?

官方列出的支援清單很長,影片涵蓋MKV、AV1、H.264、H.265、WebM、AVI、FLV、WMV、MOV、MP4、VOB、TS、MTS、3GP、Real Media、QuickTime、DV、MXF、SWF等;音訊有MP3、FLAC、AAC、WMA、OGG、OPUS、AC3、DTS、WAV、ALAC、APE等。另外也支援DVD、未加密的藍光資料夾結構,以及JPG、PNG、GIF等圖片格式。基本上常見的影音檔案都在涵蓋範圍內。

02它跟一般播放器有什麼不同?

主要差在兩點。第一是Smart Play技術,播放時會自動挑選最適合的解碼器和濾鏡,減少你手動調整的次數。第二是模組化架構,除了內建的解碼包,也允許掛載LAV Filters這類第三方解碼器,遇到特殊情況可以自己換。介面高度可自訂,支援DirectShow、libVLC、Chromium三種引擎,這在一般播放器上很少見。

03可以調整哪些播放細節?

播放速度、縮放、畫面比例、色彩設定、等化器、字幕同步都可以調。音訊方面有10頻段等化器,支援S/PDIF和位元流輸出。另外還有子母畫面、多顯示器影片牆、磁吸式視窗、章節時間軸、滑鼠懸停預覽等功能。這些設定可以從右鍵選單或進階選項對話框進入,不是只有播放、暫停、快轉而已。

04能看網路影片或IPTV嗎?

可以。它支援直接輸入網址播放串流影片和音訊,也支援IPTV服務,可以透過播放清單檔案載入。YouTube串流需要額外設定才能使用。網路芳鄰(SMB/UPnP)的分享檔案也可以直接播放,另外有內建Emby、Plex、Jellyfin的支援,方便連到家裡的媒體伺服器。

05可以自訂界面和操作嗎?

可以,而且這方面做得相當深。完整支援換膚,鍵盤、滑鼠、手勢、螢幕角落都可以自訂,也有腳本功能可以寫自動化。新版介面改成半透明的控制覆蓋層,按鈕配置、大小、字型、顏色、透明度都能調。也支援遙控器、遊戲手把,甚至可以用Android手機App控制,適合搭配電視或投影機使用。

06什麼人適合用這套?

如果你會自己調整播放設定、對畫質和音質有要求,或是常遇到別人播不了的檔案,這套會比較適合。它內建播放歷史與續播功能,會記住多個檔案的播放位置,對常看一半就關掉的人很方便。另外,如果你有HTPC(客廳電腦)的建置需求,它支援Kiosk模式和遙控器操作,可以當作家庭劇院的核心播放器。

07拿來當HTPC播放器可以嗎?

可以,官方FAQ也明確提到這點。它支援全螢幕Kiosk模式、遙控器操作、高度自訂的導覽介面,也有螢幕烙印保護、網路磁碟機保持連線、Wake-on-LAN等功能。另外可以跨電腦續播、變更解析度、關閉顯示器、設定家長鎖。如果你打算組一台專門接電視的電腦,這些功能會比一般播放器實用很多。

08數位看板或公共場所播放適合嗎?

這套有GuardDog自動重啟功能,播放程式異常時會自己恢復,也有螢幕烙印保護和Wake-on-LAN,這些都是公共播放會需要的機制。Kiosk模式可以鎖定界面,避免路人亂按。不過要注意,它畢竟是付費軟體,而且界面只有英文,如果只是要簡單輪播幾支影片,市面上有更便宜或免費的選擇。

09界面只有英文,會不會很難上手?

介面語系確實只有英文,沒有中文。如果你不習慣英文選單,初期會需要花時間摸索。不過播放器的主要操作其實很直覺——拖曳檔案進去、右鍵叫出選單——日常使用不太會卡住。但如果你要深入調整解碼器、設定腳本或自訂界面,就需要一定的英文閱讀能力,這點要自己評估。

10要付費嗎?免費版夠用嗎?

這套是付費軟體,單人授權定價約29.95美元,有升級折扣和終身授權選項。官方也提供功能較少的免費版Zoom Player FREE,但具體少了哪些功能,官方資料沒有細列。如果你只是偶爾看片,免費版可能夠用;但如果你需要進階功能,就得先付費才能用MAX版,建議先試用再決定。

11跟K-Lite Codec Pack比,哪個比較多人用?

以評分人數來看,K-Lite Codec Pack Basic有781人評分,Mega也有266人,而Zoom Player MAX只有69人,差距很明顯。K-Lite是解碼包,搭配播放器使用;Zoom Player是完整的播放器,定位不同。如果你只是缺解碼器,K-Lite的使用者基數大、討論多,遇到問題比較好找答案。Zoom Player的社群相對小很多。

12能播藍光嗎?加密的可以嗎?

可以播放藍光資料夾結構,但官方明確表示,因為授權限制,不支援加密藍光光碟。也就是說,如果你手邊是正版藍光片,這套沒辦法直接播,需要先自行處理解密。另外,4K和HDR播放需要你的硬體和系統有對應的支援,不是裝了軟體就一定跑得動,這點在購買前要先確認自己的設備。
