The problem with version 10.0.0.565 is that the publishers did not take their time to properly observe it like other versions. The moment you update to this version, you will begin to notice how sluggish your system has suddenly become. Another problem is that the updates take longer time to complete and sometimes, it just fails to update.

For a program to be tagged a freeware does not mean it should be very low in standard and quality. Gom Player 2.1.24.5013 Beta may still be in Beta stage, but much the publishers must realize how significant it is to make it a hit right from this stage. Like I mentioned earlier, Gom player is a freeware and has support for many features the publishers claim to be for advanced users. According to the publishers, it is meant for those who have their eyes set on high video quality. I might just agree with the publishers on some other issues, but not on the video quality.

At least you can still use it to play a lot of files on your system in spite of the quality, which a lot of people might not consider that bad. At least the publishers have taken their time in fixing some errors and noticeable bugs in recent editions. Such bugs are; encoder minor updates fixed, fixing of distorted logos, addition of filters and the upgrade of PSP compatibility among others.
