While applications such as QuickTime and RealPlayer are popular, they require a great deal of memory. If you have been looking for a streamlined means to play your favorite files, Media Player Lite could be a great option to consider.

Streamlined Functions and Options

Media Player Lite is essentially a trimmed-down version of more memory-taxing software bundles. However, it still provides the user with a superior sense of functionality. Another interesting feature of this application is that common codecs such as XviD and DivX are not required. It supports file types including MPEG, MPG, ASF, VCD and MOV. Thanks to GPU-assisted acceleration, the performance of most operating systems will not be adversely affected.

Additional Benefits and Playback Options

The layout associated with Media Player Lite mirrors traditional Windows media players, so most users will not encounter any issues in terms of navigation. All commands are found at the bottom of the window and a menu along the top offers additional options such as the ability to create a favorites list. This is open-source software, so updates will take place from time to time.
