Open videos

What it does

Vantage Player opens a single video and lines up the rest of its folder. If you pick several videos at once, it plays just those.

It plays MP4, M4V, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI, MPEG-TS (TS, M2TS, MTS), WMV, FLV, MPG, MPEG, 3GP, OGV, ASF and VOB, including HEVC (H.265) video.

How to use it

One video

• Drag the video onto the window.
• Or press Ctrl+O, or click the open button on the control bar, or right-click → Open….
• Or double-click it in File Explorer once Vantage Player is your video app.

A whole folder

• Drag the folder onto the window. Vantage Player plays the videos in it.

Several videos

• In File Explorer, select the videos you want and press Enter, or right-click → Open with → Vantage Player. Only the selected videos play, in the current sort order.
• You can also select several files in the Ctrl+O dialog, or drag several onto the window.

If Vantage Player is already open, the videos you open from File Explorer play in that window.

Troubleshooting

• A file does not play: see A video stutters or won't play.
• Videos with copy protection (DRM) and DVD or Blu-ray disc menus do not play.
• Double-clicking a video opens another player: see Vantage Player isn't my default app.
