How many of the 4 and 5 star reviews here for Elmedia Player are from people who've reviewed here before? Look down the reviews thread. How many of the reviews are from newbies?
What does that tell you?
It tells ME we have review stuffing going on, again.

Because valid user reviews are of such value to me, I fully support your concerns and efforts in trying to stem the tsunami of fakes. I’ve developed my own methods of scam detection, but I know they aren’t foolproof, so there are no doubt reviews I either believe or dismiss when I shouldn’t.
The reason I posted my first review here is that, a few months ago, I had an issue with Elmedia Player Pro and contacted Eltima about it. They responded very quickly and helpfully with a couple of different emails to me, but I had to go away for a few days and wasn’t able to implement their suggestions. When I returned, the problem was gone, so I suspect that my own user error, not the software, had been the problem.
A few days ago, I recalled this incident and that the Eltima rep had asked me to let them know if my problem had been resolved. So I got back in touch with them to say that it was and to tell them how much I use and value their product. They thanked me and asked if I could post a review here. No coercion, just a request.
I’m in the middle of tax return fun and games, so I almost didn’t. But the angel on my other shoulder reminded me how important user reviews are to us all, so I did.
I think I made it clear in my review that my own needs and usage are limited, but for what I do, EPP works very well. So why should I look for an alternative that may or may not be better? And why not let other searchers know that this may also be a good option for them? If there are so many bogus reviews here (and I have no idea if this is the fact), wouldn’t my legitimate input be of value?
Your profile says you are a creativity technologist and Mac expert, so your computer universe is very different from mine. Tech-minded folks like yourself would no doubt scoff at a lot of my software and hardware choices and preferences, and if I knew more, I might well agree. But if something is working for me, I let it be and focus on other things. And if I can help other non-techie users find viable programs, I will.
BTW, although I have owned and appreciated Apple products for almost a quarter century and have never owned anything remotely Windowsy, I’m not a fangirl of the Cupertino company or of any software providers and know that there are plenty of lemons amongst the apples. I’m always interested to read criticisms by clear-eyed users, so I just checked out a couple of your blogs and bookmarked them. I need all the help I can get!
Are you familiar with Lloyd Chambers’ comprehensive Mac Performance Guide website? Like you, he gives credit where it’s due but also exposes what he calls “Apple Core Rot.” Mavericks, for instance.
Thanks for fighting the good fight against such rot, from all quarters. But please believe me when I say that, while I can’t speak for the other reviewers here, I’m a real person with genuine satisfaction so far with Elmedia Player Pro. They’ve made some good improvements to it since I bought it in January of 2013, so you might actually like it now . . . or not!

As a satellite internet user, my bandwidth is limited, so watching streaming videos is an issue. And watching one repeatedly — a tutorial, for instance — isn’t feasible. But with EPP, I can download those videos in short order.
As a streaming video begins to load in the player window, a list appears below it of all the different resolutions and resource types (mp4, flv, etc.) available for download, and I just click on the one I want. Once it’s downloaded, I can watch it in the player of my choice on my Mac, or move it to my iPad via iTunes.
My needs (and skills) are pretty unsophisticated, so I only use a fraction of EPP’s feature set, but I’m delighted with what I’m able to accomplish. And the interface (for my basic needs, anyway) is very intuitive, so I haven’t had to crack a manual yet.
No doubt Elmedia is optimized for the latest and greatest operating systems, but I’m still using Snow Leopard on my Mac and have no problems.
I’m sure there are good alternatives to Elmedia (some folks own and use several, but that sounds too fussy and complicated to me), but this program does what I want and how I want it.

I am currently taking courses for programming and the videos I watch all go through this media player and I love it. The list is able to be organized and there are no random app failures during the middle of a video.
I highly suggest downloading this program and checking it out. It'll help keep you organized and play all the videos you need.

Only point for critic: Why are the best resolutions for a given film not always downloadable?

As one who completes a system clean install once a year, including recently replacing the internal hd of my MBP with an SSD, I've always received swift and courteous responses to my request for a new activation.
Having purchased commercial software, shareware, and donation ware since 1997, I support the developer's need to protect their assets. Requesting 'reactivation' is very reasonable given the value price of the Pro license.
Highly recommended.

What does this remind me of? Oh I know: MacKeeper SCAM reviews.
All I personally know is that I installed the software, didn't like it, knew of several free and superior alternatives, and use them instead: VLC, MPlayer, MacTubes…
And please folks, no FAKED reviews.

I am currently using MacOSX 10.6 Snow Leopard, is it because of incompatibility issue?
Please assist asap. Thanks.

After a restart my computer wasn't booting and stopped at the initial Apple logo. I didn't relate that to ElMedia player at first, but then i booted in verbose mode and my system stopped just after loading the elmedia extension.
I had to boot in single user mode and remove the extension so my system would work again.
If you are a developer using Lion, for now seems that is a good idea to keep away from this software.
