Reviews for 8K Player
Yes it played my blu-ray disc but that’s about it. If you want ultra-basic, this is for you. Didn’t play most of my iso files, nor a few other file types, and mp4 files played with poor quality. Bummer, sounded so much better.
Software would not play commercial Blu-rays. DVD quality was awful and took a long time to start playing. Poor UI design.
I can’t believe how good this works. It only took seconds to set & it played a Blu-Ray with no messing around.
All of us like high-quality videos and movies, and have a collection of them. But what good is a collection of high-quality videos, if your media player is not able to play them at their highest quality. Most media players claim to do this job well, but in reality they fail at playing videos in 100% lossless quality.
8K Player is an all-in-one media player, designed to play Blu-ray/DVD/Music/Videos, all in 100% lossless quality with high-definition surround sound. Along with, media playing capabilities it comes with some other handy features and tools too.
Installation
There are a few minimum system requirements to install and use this software application, they are not something to worry about as most of the machines these days would be able to meet the requirements easily. The installer is ~30MB in size, and if your PC meets the minimum system requirements, installation shouldn’t take much time at all. Right after the installation, you can open your favourite videos or other media and play them in lossless quality.
Clean & minimalistic UI
The UI does not have much to it, it is dark, and as clean and minimalistic as possible. It is designed that way so that the UI does not take any attention of the viewer and they can focus on the media being played. The controls on the screen while playing are minimalistic too, it only shows two sliders one for volume and the other for duration, a play/pause button, speed up/down buttons, a button to loop, on to quickly take a screenshot, and another to open pop-up menu that contains more options. To play media, you can either drag n drop, or use the pop-up menu to open Blu-ray/DVD or any other files.
Features
8K player is capable of playing almost all the high-quality media files, including 4K Blu-ray Disc/Folder/ISO file, video file formats like MKV, FLV, AVI, MOV, etc with 1080p,2K,4K 5K 8K UHD resolutions, and lossless audio formats like APE/FLAC/ALAC including support for Dolby TrueHD/Dolby Digital etc.
Moreover, the player let’s you choose audio files to play along video, subtitles,add files to playlists, and shows media info of the file currently playing.
Features other than playing media include, the ability to take screenshots with a single-click, create GIF out of your favourite scenes, and also the ability to record your screen. The screen recorder can be used to record more than just the media playing, but it lacks the necessary tools and is not anywhere close to dedicated screen recorder applications, so it would be better if you just record media being played. Moreover, there’s and option to make the media being played stay on top, but I didn’t find it useful in any way, as it blocks the view of everything on screen, and you cannot work while you watch stuff.
Pros
Easy-to-use and Minimalistic UI
Wide-range of high-quality supported formats
Screen Recorder
Instant Snapshot and GIF creator
Instant Snapshot and GIF creator
Cons
High system resource usage- Uses around 20-30% CPU on idle, 40-50% while playing media and above 60% while using the slider to jump to different duration of the media file. I felt the resource usage was very high, and on lower end systems it would make the system hang and lag.
Conclusion
8K Player is a simple and basic media player, that comes with ability to play high-quality media files like Blu-ray/DVD/Music/Video. It works smoothly on my system with an i5 processor and 12GB RAM, but would probably lag on setups lower than that of my system. Developer needs to improve the system resource usage, so that more users can use this application.

Couple additional Cons for me:
No ability to resize video, it is either full screen or in non-scalable window.
Control bar stays on top of video. Without being able to scale the window or hide the controls you will ALWAYS have some part of your video blocked.
