Video media players are an essential tool in video production. I use them every day to check video files, resolutions and quality.
They are also useful for verifying video files are actually valid. For example, I frequently encounter video clips that are not supported in Adobe Premiere Pro. Therefore, I use a media player that has good codec support to verify the video file has not been corrupted.
This page lists video multimedia players that you will find useful during video production.
