Supports playback from files, discs, external devices.

Summary of benefits and notable features: Regardless, it's a great free media player for Windows 10 or Windows 11. Most users probably won't care, but you should know that PotPlayer is free but proprietary software (i.e., not open source). And best of all, it uses fewer resources than VLC. In fact, you'll find it packed with more settings than even VLC and lots of advanced features like scene previews, bookmarks, clip recording, and more. If you want to tweak options and customize them to your liking, PotPlayer lets you. But unlike VLC, which can run into trouble when dealing with larger files or cutting-edge video formats, PotPlayer always works. VLC and PotPlayer share a lot in common, notably that they both serve as easy all-in-one media players for users who just want an out-of-the-box solution.
