CrystalPlayer is a compact media player for Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7. It was developed by Russian software developer Kim Bondarenko and acquired by Crystal Reality LLC.
CrystalPlayer features an original video kernel and does not use the built-in Windows Media environment, so there are fewer limitations compared to other players using the Windows Media environment. The playback engine of CrystalPlayer is a first version of Crystal Reality's playback technology which was later deployed to Yota and SPB Software as the kernel of mobile multimedia services (known as Crystal2 technology).
Crystal Reality planned to release version 2.0 of CrystalPlayer based on Crystal2 technology, but version 2.0 was not deployed to the public.
CrystalPlayer Professional offers the ability to improve the quality of videos using video filters, video postprocessing, multisampling, and supersampling features.
CrystalPlayer can smoothly play video on slow machines (netbooks, etc.). It uses a large buffer for decoded frames, allowing users to avoid frame-skip and glitches in most cases.
Supported formats include: DivX, XVID, MPEG1/2, MPEG4, WMV, Real.
