Act 1 Player^™

Play video and audio files

Act1 Player is a universal media player you can use to receive audio, video, and mixed-media files in most popular formats.

Use Act1 Player to listen to or view live news updates or broadcasts of your favorite sports team, to review a music video on a Web site, to "attend" a concert or seminar, or to preview clips from a new movie.

High-quality multimedia experience

Act1 Player can provide continuous viewing even when playing a file that consists of multiple media types. In addition, it supports intelligent streaming, which monitors network conditions and automatically makes adjustments to ensure the best reception and playback.

Easily tailored to meet your preferences

Act1 Player is flexible enough that you can specify which features and controls appear. You can quickly change the size of the video window and even enlarge it to full-screen size.

Simplified playing of a wide range of file types

In the past, each media file format required its own player, which you had to download and configure. With the new Act1 Player, you can play streaming media files from the Internet or a local area network in addition to local multimedia file types: all from one, easy-to-use player. Windows Media Player can also play packaged media files created by Act1 Plus.

The Favorites menu provides some quick links to interesting content and a simple way to add links for your favorite programming and media files. To gain access to more media files, click the Media Guide button or the Music button on the Navigation bar. To access radio stations, click the Radio button.
