about as feature rich as kmplayer, not as stylish.
i have had my eyes on the folks over at altools for a few years now. i was using ALShow and loving it when VLC was the most highly praised media player and before KMPlayer came close to being on the scene.the majority of features that are offered in KMPlayer are also offered in ALShow (changing brightness, recording from video being played, jumping forward or back in small, medium, or larger time increments, playing pretty much any type of video format including DVD's), but in some cases ALShow is more customizable (how far ahead jumps in time are from shortcut keys). to me, KMPlayer "looks cooler", and occasionally I've had to use it (or VLC) for random files when ALShow has had problems. but, this is maybe 1 percent of the time. i still use ALShow as my preferred movie player.i just hope it stays freeware
Pros: nice and customizable keyboard shortcuts
small on resources
plays pretty much everything
Cons: occasionally come across a file that it can't play, however this is quite rare
