Kantaris has a graphical user interface similar to that of Windows Media Player, but possess more power and flexibility than the standard media player built in the Windows package.

* Plays almost all multimedia formats without the need for installing any separate codecs (supported formats AVI (DivX, Xvid, H264), MPEG, MGEG-AVC, WMV, MOV, MKV, FLV, MP3, WMA, OGG files, and more).  

* Connects to an online subtitle database, finds subtitles that are a perfect fit to the played media.
