I was one of the lucky winners and I thank Mirillis, Mike, and Avinashtech for the wonderful Giveaway. Alpha posted that he was interested to hear some feedback on the player so here is a small review for those interested.

My first impression of this player was WOW. It has a nice, clean interface, is easy to navigate, and ready to get started with right away. My biggest concern with any video player is it's ability to play different video formats and have the necessary codecs. This player has been able to play anything I have thrown at it and the picture quality is stunning! (Of course picture quality will vary depending on the quality of the source video.)

I watch a lot of .mkv formatted videos and sometimes they can be difficult to play on some players because it uses more than two tracks (most video uses two tracks, audio and video). In .mkv videos, it uses several tracks to separate audio, video subtitles etc. to get better quality and it really shows when using the Splash EX Pro video player. Splash EX Pro also utilizes hardware acceleration (in my case, nVIDIA CUDA Technology).

One problem I found was when playing an .avi formatted movie or video clip, when trying to fast-forward or skip to a section of the clip, the player stops working. This could be a problem for most users since .avi is a very popular video format. I may contact Mirillis' tech support team to see if there is a fix for this.

All in all in my opinion Splash EX Pro is an awesome video player and plays HD videos very nicely. Since I have won it has been the only video player I use to watch video on the PC.

Here are a few screenshots of the player in action with h.264 .mkv formatted videos. These pictures do not do the player justice.
