2025 Editor's Rating
SwiftPlayer is a fast, convenient video player. It's really fast and consume very little resource, maybe we could say it's the world's fastest and least resource demanding video player. We have tested all video players we can get, the outcome is that SwiftPlayer is by far the fastest and least resource demanding one. It's simplicity may not appeal to an advanced connoisseur, but to most people who just want to play videos they like, however poor the hardware and however high the resolution, it's their best choice. Some video players are bloated monsters, packed with unnecessary features. You've seen the results: open an HD video and they'll keep you waiting while your hard drive thrashes, your RAM is gobbled up and your CPU utilisation reaches new highs. By contrast, SwiftPlayer launches in a flash, and then make minimal demands on your system resources, allowing smooth HD video playback even on the most underpowered of PC hardware. There is an important issue most video players handle terribly, that is audio-video synchronization. How irritating it is that you set you down comfortably and want to enjoy a fantastic movie, but the pictures lag behind the voices more and more, or the voices go brokenly(or no voices at all) due to the 100% CPU utilisation by picture rendering. I try to play some HD 1080P high resolution videos using my laptop(1.60 GHz, 512 MB), no video player other than our SwiftPlayer can do the job! Some freeze the computer and I can do nothing but restart the machine despairingly, some render the pictures and voices jerkily or slowly, some ... How ridiculous it is that a video player can't play a video while having so much useless features! Our goal is to provide a simple solution: no need to install strange codecs, no need to configure confusing settings, all you have to do is start the player, select the video file and enjoying yourself with the video rendered fluently and clearly. Our wisdom and diligence bring about the great SwiftPlayer!
